This section seeks to assess Bidders Economic and Financial Standing as well as the ability to meet the Council’s minimum Insurance requirements as set out below
Financial Check
Bidders must comply with the undernoted financial requirements in order to participate in the tendering process:
There is a minimum financial requirement that affects trading performance, balance sheet strength and current liquidity
Financial requirements for trading performance and balance sheet strength should be calculated on latest filed accounts with Companies House
Trading Performance
An overall positive outcome on EBITDA earnings over a 3-year period
Exceptional items can be excluded from the calculation.
The above would be expressed in the ratio EBITDA/Turnover
Balance Sheet strength
Net worth of the organisation must be positive at the time of evaluation and organisation must not be subject to an insolvency process.
Intangibles can be included for purposes of the Total Assets figure.
The above would be expressed in the ratio Total Assets/Total Liabilities

Please refer to Document One - Invitation to Tender within the Attachment area of the portal within PCST for further details.
Technical & Professional Ability
Bidders are required to provide evidence of having the necessary capacity and capability to deliver the requirement.
Bidders are required to respond to question 4C.1 within the qualification submission of the tender.
Please provide 2 relevant examples of supplies and/or services carried out during the last five years as specified in the Contract Notice and Document One ITT:
Example 1 50%
Example 2 50%
Total Section 100%
Bidders must score a minimum threshold of 60% across both examples and/or Any Bidder who fails to achieve the minimum points score for any question will be disqualified.
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Vehicle and Plant Equipment Recovery Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
