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 = 5 000 000 GBP. In responding to Question Ref. 4B.5a and 4B.5b of the ESPD, where the bidder ticks the box \"No, and I cannot commit to obtain it\" they shall be marked as FAIL."
