    The financial assessment of Tenderers will cover the following areas:

    Credit Safe Report

    An assessment of financial information using accounts submitted

    Turnover the Main contractor must have an annual turnover level of at least GBP76,000 2 x the annual guaranteed contract value for the initial two year period.

    To establish the financial standing of a Tenderer, the Council will firstly take into account a risk report provided independently by Credit Safe. Within such reports, the risk of business failure is expressed as a score ranging from 1 -100. In the event that a company is determined to have a risk failure rating of below 30 i.e. that the company is considered to have a high risk of business failure, the submission will not be considered further.

    Where you are not registered on credit safe e.g. charitable organisations, new start companies and Sole Traders you are to submit 2 years financial accounts, including Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet for consideration.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 130 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Framework Agreement For Data and Business Intelligence Support” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
