        "description": "This Framework will support the Met Office to award a number of potential future contracts which will include Delivery Partnership relationships of both a tactical (e.g. one-off developments) and strategic (longer term 2 / 3 project and programme requirements) nature. The estimated value of PS30 million for this Framework is based on the potential demand and varying length of contracts which the Met Office may seeks to award through it. The potential framework will help transform the Met Office by supporting the following Strategic Actions identified by the MO: * Developing and nurturing capability partnerships * Delivering a Common Met Office Data Platform * Exploiting the future of data sciences * Taking a common approach to customer data services The Met Office is therefore establishing a framework with a number of companies who can help with that transformation, both by bringing new skills and knowledge and by bolstering the capacity and capability of existing Met Office teams to deliver required outcomes. This should also include being able to supply additional resource to augment teams if and where further gaps are identified, ensuring up-skilling is provided if required. This does not include contingent labour which the Met Office have separate contractual arrangements in place for. The Met Office's new strategy requires a significant step change in technology systems, resources and ways of working. This is encapsulated in a number of 'Strategic Actions'. Several of these actions will be realised via programmes of work with both customer benefit and technology at their heart. The amount of change ahead is large and many of these changes are interrelated and complex, and the Met Office cannot make these changes alone. By extending our capacity and capability, we can move faster and focus on the areas we add real value by leveraging the expertise of partners.",

If the financial risk indicator score is at levels 1(Minimal Risk), 2 (Lower than average risk) or 3 (Greater than average risk) , or there is an equivalent international score, you will receive a Pass for this question. Stage 2 If the financial risk indicators score is at Level 4 (High risk) or no financial risk score is available then we will ask for copies of your financial statements, audited if applicable, for the two most recent years. If there are no financial statements available, we will ask for other information including: * a statement of turnover, profit and loss account/income statement, balance sheet/statement of financial position and statement of cash flow for the most recent period of trading * forecast financial statements and cash for the current year and a bank letter outlining the current cash and credit position and/or * an alternative means of demonstrating financial status If the information we ask for is not provided you will Fail this question and your bid may be rejected. Stage 3 We will then use the information provided at stage 2 above to assess the level of financial risk using our financial risk assessment template, File 3 - Framework Financial Analysis. If the level of financial risk is unacceptable, you will Fail this question. If the level of risk is acceptable with mitigating actions, and you have not already nominated a guarantor, we will ask you to name a guarantor who will provide a Letter of Intent to sign a deed of guarantee for call off contracts awarded through this agreement if requested by the buyer. Our published guidance to buyers on the use of the agreement will indicate the need for a guarantee. The Letter of Intent to Guarantee is required to be on the letterhead of the guarantor and to be in the form set out in Appendix D to Commercial Terms Summary, Annex 2. A copy of the required wording for the Letter of Intent to Guarantee is also provided within the 'information and declaration' workbook File 4. In addition to the Letter of Intent to Guarantee, a Certified copy of the extract of the board minutes and/or resolution of the Guarantor approving the intention to enter into a Letter of Intent to Guarantee is required to be provided. If you have nominated a guarantor and your nominated guarantor's level of financial risk is unacceptable, you will Fail this question and your bid may be excluded. Stage 4 If you name a guarantor, stages 1, 2 and 3 above will be repeated on the guarantor. If you cannot provide a guarantor whose level of financial risk is acceptable, or you cannot provide a guarantor, you will Fail this question and your bid may be excluded. If any member of a group or a consortium has a level of financial risk which is unacceptable, and you cannot provide a guarantor whose level of financial risk is acceptable, then you will Fail this question and the consortium bid may be excluded.",
