The Council will utilise Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Failure Score of 20 or above. Tenderers (including all participants in a group) are required to have a Failure Score of 20 or above in order to demonstrate its financial strength and stability. It is recommended that Tenderers review their own D&B Failure Score in advance of submitting a Tender Submission. Where the Tenderer does not have a D&B Failure Score, or where the Tenderer does not consider that the D&B Failure Score reflects their current financial status; the Tenderer may give an explanation within the Tender Submission, together with any relevant supporting alternative evidence which demonstrates its financial strength/stability. Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a D&B Failure Score, they must provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 3 years as part of their SPD Submission in order that the Council may assess these to determine the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract of this size. Where a Tenderer does not meet the minimum financial requirements in its own right and wishes to rely on the financial standing of a parent company, Tenderers should provide a statement that they commit to obtaining a parent company guarantee in the form attached in the Standard Documents S10 Parent Company Guarantee. Where a consortium bid is received, the D&B Failure Score of each consortium member shall be assessed and each must achieve a D&B failure score of 20 or above. Where a sub-contractor material to the performance of the Contract or where the Tenderer intends to sub-contract more than 25% of any contract value to a single sub-contractor, the Tenderer may be required to confirm that the sub-contractor(s) has a D&B failure score of 20 or above. The Council reserves the right to request one copy of all sub-contractor last 3 financial years' audited accounts and details of significant changes since the last financial year end.",
