OR (b) Where the tenderer's Dun & Bradstreet risk indicator is 2 or less, the annual contract value should also be less than 75% of the tenderer's average turnover over the preceding 2 years. Please note the important guidance to bidders below: Applicants are strongly advised to satisfy themselves that they meet these criteria as failure of the financial check will mean that their application will not be considered further. Applicants should also satisfy themselves that their Dun and Bradstreet ratings are correct and it is the applicant's responsibility to raise any queries with Dun and Bradstreet if they feel a correction is required. The council will rely on the risk rating it obtains at the time it performs the D&B financial check. You must provide your average yearly turnover for the last 2 years. Turnover must be provided from your audited accounts. Turnover from unaudited accounts or part year turnover will not be accepted. If you are unable to provide the turnover information required due to being exempt from submission of full audited accounts, please provide an explanation on why you are exempt in response to this question.
