Liquidity - this 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 is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage.

Do the bidder's auditors (where applicable) consider it to be a \"going concern\"? Do Keynote (where applicable) consider the bidder to be a \"going concern\"? Will the bidder provide a Parent Company Guarantee? Is the bidder the single supplier/source of the Goods/Works/Services in the marketplace? . The Council will request submission of and assess the bidders financial accounts, and may use Keynote or similar financial verification systems to validate the information provided. .
