Tenderers that are successful in the procurement process will only be awarded multiple lots where it meets the combined minimum turnover of those lots;] and * A \"Risk Assessment Report\" will be carried out through Dun and Bradstreet. Tenderers must have an Impact of Supplier Failure Score of [51 or above] [30 or above] [11 or above]; or * Where a Tenderer fails to meet the risk assessment criteria and or the turnover requirement, a further financial assessment will be conducted. The assessment will consist of applying recognised accounting ratios, as shown at Appendix A, to understand a Tenderer's financial health. Each ratio will be rated either red, amber, neutral or green depending on the outcome of the ratio. Profitability, Solvency and Liquidity ratios will receive a score of 4 for a red, 3 for amber, 2 for neutral and 1 for green. The efficiency ratio is weighted at 0.5 of the other ratios i.e. 2 for a red, 1.5 for amber, 1 for neutral and 0.5 for green. The total score available is 40 marks. A score for either of the last two financial accounting periods of [30] [33] [36] will require further mitigations from the Tenderer before a decision can be made on whether the Tenderer meets the minimum requirements for Financial and Economic Standing. We reserve the right to reassess the Tenderer's Economic and Financial Standing throughout the procurement process and/or Contract term. Any successful supplier will be subject to a further financial assessment as described above, prior to any award of contract."
