Financial Capacity - Bidders financial ratios will be assessed proportionate to their offered contract value, which will categorise Bidders as 'Low', 'Medium', 'High' or 'Very High' risk. For Bidders that are categorised as 'High' or 'Very High' risk, the Authority will require a guarantee or bond that will provide the Authority with sufficient security that the Bidder has the financial capacity to deliver this Service. It is the Authority's preference that this be a Parent Company Guarantee, but will consider alternatives on a case by case basis. The Authority will decide at its discretion which guarantees, bonds or alternative financial instruments are sufficient to provide confidence of financial capacity. Bidders should note that since this is a multi-Lot requirement, the value of Contract award to differing Bidders will not be known until the Offer Stage, and therefore the Pass/Fail criteria for this will be applied at this time.

Legal Capacity: Environmental Management Legislation - Bidders are required to confirm that they have not been convicted of breaching environmental legislation, or had any notice served upon it, in the last three years by an environmental regulator, local authority or other Authority.
