Supplier must have a D & B (or equivalent credit rating report) of Low or Low/Moderate Overall Business Risk, and be able to pass the following financial factors. In making this assessment, the Authority will consider the following factors, in combination, as measures of the Tenderer's (or its guarantor's) financial standing: 1. Financial stability: Whether the Tenderer (or any guarantor) can demonstrate stable trading and strong net assets position, including whether it has consistently made a profit over the last two financial years (or the number of years of trading if less than two years); 2. Liquidity and cash position: Whether the Tenderer (or any guarantor) can demonstrate a low risk liquidity and cash position, typically showing a current ratio value of >1 over the last two financial years (or the number of years of trading if less than two years); 3. Scale: That the indicative contract value does not form a disproportionate proportion of the Tenderer's (or any guarantor's) business, typically that the Tenderer's annual turnover is at least twice the indicative contract value 4. Other financial concerns: Whether the financial report obtained from Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent in relation to the Tenderer (or any guarantor) or other financial information relating to the Tenderer which is in the public domain, identifies any other material concerns as to the Tenderer's financial standing or stability.",
