Tenderers with a Risk Score of 3 (average risk of failure) or above on the system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 3- (minus) will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Risk Score of 1 or 2, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts. In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Key Note or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on providing 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3 year period. It is recommended that candidates review their own credit score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the credit score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be able to be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer's financial status. In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee. Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected."
