The current ratio shall be calculated as current assets/current liabilities. Minimum Insurance Levels It is a requirement of this contract that bidders hold, or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types of insurance indicated below. Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance in accordance with any legal obligation for the time being in force Professional Indemnity Insurance = 8,000,000GBP for any one incident and unlimited in total Public Liability Insurance = 8,000,000GBP for any one incident and unlimited in total Any other economic or financial requirements There is no action required of tenderers at this stage. Tenderers must have a D&B 'Failure Score' of 51 or above. If the tenderer (or any consortia or reliance partner) does not meet the requirements in relation to the current ratio or the D&B Failure Score then the audited financial accounts of the tenderer (or consortia or reliance partner) will be used to conduct an assessment of the risk of business failure. In the event that the tenderer does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the tenderer may still be eligible for consideration where their tender submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee. Where the bidder does not have a Parent Company some other form of assurance such as a performance bond may be acceptable. If the tenderer (or any consortia or reliance partner) does not pass the above assessment and is unable to provide a Parent Company Guarantee or some other form of assurance, this will result in a fail and the bidder may be excluded. Bidders may elect to provide their audited financial accounts for the last three financial years. There must be no qualification or contra-indication from any evidence provided in support of the tenderer's Economic and Financial Standing."
