| price | The Council estimates this procurement opportunity based on best market valuation of an estimated annual contract value of £65,000 . To be considered for this opportunity, Tenderers shall have a minimum yearly turnover of at least equivalent to this amount. As a Condition of Participation, tenderers must demonstrate that they have sufficient financial standing to perform the contract. This will be assessed in the following way: - The Council will firstly obtain the tenderers' credit rating using Data8 'Business Insights' during the evaluation period. Tenderers that have a credit score of 50 or above and have met any minimum turnover requirements (if included) will be deemed to have sufficient financial standard. - Tenderers that have a credit rating below 50 will be subject to further financial checks. This will be in the form of ratio analysis based on the tenderers' latest accounts (or other evidence, as uploaded by the tenderer on the Find a Tender site). Specifically, tenderers must demonstrate the following: o Trade debtor days to be a maximum of 60 days. o Trade creditor days to be a maximum of 60 days. o Current ratio to be above 0.6. o Debt to equity ratio to be under 3. - If a tenderer does not meet the criteria above, it will be excluded from the process without further evaluation. - For clarity, if you are bidding as a consortium, only the turnover of the members that meet the financial standing criteria (above) will be considered when determining if the minimum turnover requirements (if included) are achieved. | price | 60.00% |
