For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: Similar to the award of a standard Framework or DPS, it is accepted that it is difficult to achieve any meaningful Community Benefits (CB's) via the award of a PSA due to the absence of any guarantee of spend, volume or duration. Where services of a significant value in any category are procured via mini tender, Community Benefit requirements may be included as part of the Technical evaluation. Where they are not however included and in instances where Direct Award is used as the method of procurement, the undernoted process will apply: On the anniversary of each year of the PSA when actual expenditure is known, the Provider will be required to deliver CB's in the following year to the value of the points conversant to their income in the previous year using the matrix provided within the tender, which is based upon the allocation of CB points to overall value.

If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio; Liquidity - this value is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or equal to one then it is a pass for this ratio; Gearing - this value is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage. If the answer is less than or equal to 100% it is considered a pass for this ratio. Where 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met, we may then take account of other factors when assessing financial viability and the risk to the organisation, providing that the Bidder can submit acceptable evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria.",
