Legal: Confirmation that the Bidder has in place, or will have in place by the award of the contract, the human and technical resources to perform the contract to ensure compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and to ensure the protection of the rights of data subjects. Financial: A single legal entity (the "Applicant") will be subject to all elements of the test of Economic and Financial Standing. This may be the Potential supplier (or any of its Members in the case of a consortium), a parent company or a third-party guarantor on whose resources it is relying on to fulfil the Authority’s requirements. The authority will obtain an independent financial appraisal report from Dun & Bradstreet Ltd (DBAI) http://www.dnb.co.uk. The report provides the authority with an overall Risk Rating Score which will be used to assess the applicant’s financial standing. The DBAI score ratings include the following: D&B Risk Indicator: 1 = Minimum risk 2 = Lower than average 3 = Greater than average 4 = High risk D&B Failure Score: 1 to 100 where 1 is the worst and 100 the best (a Tenderer may be excluded on the grounds of providing insufficient or false information) This procurement has been deemed as high risk and therefore Bidders must achieve a failure score of 51 or more If the Dun & Bradstreet financial appraisal report results in a ‘fail’, the report information will be interrogated further by the Council’s finance team. Further information may be requested from the Applicant to evidence that the tenderer’s financial position will not place public money or services at an unacceptable risk. This will include further evidence of the tenderer’s financial position and could include copies of audited draft accounts and any other evidence required to justify why the Dun & Bradstreet high risk of failure score does not put the Council at undue financial risk.
