The Council will use D&B to assist in its determination of the organisation's financial status and risk. It is recommended that Tenderers review their own D&B Failure Score in advance of submitting their Tender Submission. If, following this review, Tenderers consider that the D&B Failure Score does not reflect their current financial status, the Tenderer should attach a document to this section giving a detailed explanation, together with any relevant supporting independent evidence. The Council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer's financial status. The Council may undertake supplementary investigations to establish if the D&B failure score is a reflection of the current financial stability of the Tenderer; the outcome of such investigations will influence if a Tenderer is deemed to meet the minimum requirements to pass this bid selection stage in terms of their financial stability for the purposes of this contract.
