If a bidder does not agree with the credit rating it has been given by D&B it can provide supporting evidence to demonstrate its current position and this will be taken into account when the financial standing is being assessed. If a bidder is not listed on D&B, for whatever reason, then it may be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required assessment of financial standing to be carried out. Bidders should have a D&B failure score of 51 or higher to demonstrate satisfactory financial standing. If a bidder has a lower lower failure score and has the backing of a parent company with a failure score of 51 or higher, then the provision of a Parent Company Guarantee prior to the award of any contract will be acceptable. If a tenderer has a failure score and no evidence to support a stable or improved financial standing then the bidder may be rejected. This rejection will be at the sole discretion of the University of Edinburgh",
