To determine these standards, Economic Operators shall: (a) in response to ESPD, Question Ref. 4B1a provide the specified annual turnover for the last three years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than three years; (b) in response to ESPD, Question Ref. 4B2a provide the name, value and/or range of NINE financial criteria for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years. In addition to the information requested under (a) and (b), economic operators are required to provide a link/copies of the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not a UK registered company) for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if less than two years. This information has been requested to enable Transport Scotland to perform their own assessment and confirm the financial ratios submitted. Ultimately, ensuring the correct score is allocated, and to ensure no misinterpretation. Where there exist differences in ratios, between those provided and those calculated by Transport Scotland, clarification will be sought. Economic operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. These are described below: Evaluation Criteria Ratios (Question Ref. 4B.4) The financial information received under ESPD, Question Ref. 4B.4 shall be evaluated and scored out of 50 by allocating a score against nine individual economic and financial standing evaluation criteria, namely: 1. Acid Test Ratio 2. Cash Interest Cover Ratio 3. Return on Capital Employed 4. Operating Profit Ratio 5. Net Worth 6. Gearing 7. Annual Contract Value to Turnover 8. Filed Accounts 9. Audit Report The individual scores shall be weighted , with the most recent (\"Year 1\") financial statements weighted at 67% and the previous (\"Year 2\") statements being weighted at 33%, to form an aggregated score for each of the nine criteria over the two years. The maximum cumulative score resulting from the summation of the nine economic and financial standing aggregated scores shall be 50 marks. A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved by a Single Economic Operator or a Group of Economic Operators is less than 50 percent of the available marks. The scoring mechanism can be downloaded via the Public Contracts Scotland portal www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk. Where the submission has been submitted by a Group of Economic Operators, the information submitted by each Group Member will be evaluated in the proportion of the percentage shareholdings or percentage equity/interest of each Group Member and a score determined for such Group of Economic Operators on that basis. Insurance (Question Ref. 4B.5) In response to Question Ref. 4B.5 Economic Operators must confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement the following levels of insurance: Employer's Liability Insurance = 10 000 000 GBP Public Liability Insurance = 10 000 000 GBP Professional Indemnity Insurance = 10 000 000 GBP In responding to Question Ref. 4B5a to 4B5c of the ESPD, where the bidder ticks the box \"No, and I cannot commit to obtain it\" they shall be marked as FAIL."
