Financial Standing: The Council will access a Credit safe report for a Tenderers organisation and use the information contained within to assist with the assessment of the Bidder's economic and financial standing. In the event that this analysis is unavailable or unsatisfactory the Council will request the following information below: A copy of the organisation's audited accounts or equivalent for the most recent 2 years, along with details of any significant changes since the last year end. OR A statement of the organisation's turnover; profit and cash flow for the most recent full year of trading or where a full year trading has not been completed the same information for the period applicable.

For example, a statement of their organisation's cash flow forecast for the current year and a letter from the organisation's bank outlining the current cash and credit position or other alternative means of demonstrating financial standing. Once the Council has received and considered such financial information as is made available in line with the requirements above, the Council shall have discretion to ask Tenderers to provide either a parent company guarantee and/or a guarantee from an agreed financial institution as it considers appropriate (acting reasonably). In the event that additional measures are requested, the Council shall, in its sole discretion, determine the terms of those measures that it deems as acceptable.
