If it cannot, then it must provide either: a) a statement of the turnover, Profit and Loss Account/ Income Statement, Balance Sheet/ Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Cash Flow for the most recent year of trading for this organisation; b) a statement of the cash flow forecast for the current year and a bank letter outlining the current cash and credit position; or c) alternative means of demonstrating financial status if any of the above are not available (e.g. forecast of turnover for the current year and a statement of funding provided by the owners and/or the bank, charity accruals accounts or an alternative means of demonstrating financial status). Economic operators must also confirm whether or not they are part of a wider group (e.g. a subsidiary of a holding/parent company), and if so must provide confirmation of: a) the name of the organisation; b) the relationship to the economic operator completing the SQ; the organisation's company accounts (if available); and confirmation on whether or not this organisation would be willing to provide a guarantee if necessary, and if not would the economic operator be able to obtain a guarantee elsewhere (e.g. from a bank) Insurance - See Section 8.1 of the SQ (available to download at: https://www.yortender.co.uk/procontract/supplier.nsf). Economic operators are asked to self-certify whether they already have, or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement date of the Contract, the levels of insurance cover indicated below: a) Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance PS10,000,000 (in relation to any one claim or series of claims); b) Public Liability Insurance, including Product Liability Insurance PS10,000,000 (in relation to any one claim or series of claims); and c) Motor Vehicle Insurance PS2,000,000 (in relation to any one claim or series of claims).",

The rationale applied will be economic operators being able to self-certify that they have an annual turnover of at least 50% of the estimated annual contract value as outlined within the Tender Documents and a positive net worth. Failure by an economic operator to supply on request either a copy of the audited accounts for the most recent two (2) years or any one of the document listed in (a) - (c) in Section 4.1 of the SQ may also result in exclusion. Further, any answers which leads the contracting authority, acting reasonably, to conclude (considering the risk that the relevant answer suggests about the economic operator's ability to properly perform the Contract) that it would be inappropriate to select the economic operator on this occasion may result in exclusion. In addition, if an economic operator indicates in Section 5 of the SQ that its parent or holding company is prepared to guarantee the performance of the economic operator's company, the information provided in response to Sections 5.1 to 5.3 will be used in the financial assessment of the economic operator. Insurance - See 8.1 of the SQ (available to download at: https://www.yortender.co.uk/procontract/supplier.nsf ). Failure to indicate 'Yes' to any of the required insurances stated in Section 8.1 will result in exclusion.",

The Court may extend the time limited for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason fordoing so, but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than three (3) months after that date. Where the Contract has not been concluded, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages.
