Tenderers with a Failure Score of 35 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 35- (minus) will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 35, 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 Dun & Bradstreet 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 attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3 year period. It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 35) 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. With reference to ESPD 4B.5, it is a requirement of the contract that bidders hold or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below: *Employer's Liability (EL) Insurance = GBP 10 million *Public Liability (PL) Insurance = GBP 5 million *Professional Indemnity = GBP 2 million *It is a legal requirement that all companies hold GBP 5 million Employer's Liability Insurance as a minimum. Hourly Rate The Hourly Rate will be GBP18.22 (pending agreement of moving to one annual uplift which would increase the current hourly rate to GBP18.51 as of May until 31st March 2018. Thereafter the rate will increase annually in line with CPI)"
