Works may require the supply and provision of: -suitably qualified and experienced professional and technical personnel -facilities (including for the Engineer/employer's representative) -equipment -plant -materials -ancillaries -traffic management B.

With reference to criterion [4B5] Insurance, the required levels of insurance are general minima; insurance requirements specific to each Task Order or Supplementary Task Order shall be stated in the Works Brief issued for each Mini-Competition. For individual call-off contracts, there may be additional levels of insurance, for example those imposed by third parties including Network Rail. Where, exceptionally, the Employer shall require professional indemnity insurance in relation any Task Order or Supplementary Task Order (for example, for the design of ancillary works, or for the provision of interpretation or advice), such insurance shall be arranged separately as agreed between the Parties. Additional information on insurances will be provided with the tender documents. Economic operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. To determine these standards, economic operators shall: a) in response to ESPD, Question Ref 4B1a provide the specified annual turnover for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years; b) in response to ESPD Question Ref 4B6 provide the name, range and score of nine financial criteria for each year for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years; and c) in response to ESPD Question Ref 4B5a, b and c confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to commencement of the contract the required levels of insurance. In addition to the information requested under (a) to (c), economic operators must provide a link/ copies of the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not a UK registered company). For the avoidance of doubt, if an economic operator fails to provide accounts relating to its last two full years of trading that are due to have been filed, that economic operator will be excluded. Where economic operators have not yet been trading for a full two year period, such that filed accounts are not yet due and available, and limited only to that circumstance, the required information to support (a) to (c) above may take the form of appropriate third party / statements setting out turnover, profit and loss, cashflow (current and forecast) and the economic operator's credit facility position. Note there will, however, be a negative scoring implication, as noted below and in the Additional Documents. This above information is 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.",

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 scoring mechanism can be downloaded via the Additional Documents, located within the Additional Notice Options of the Public Contracts Scotland portal (www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk). For the purpose of calculating the Annual Contract Value to Turnover ratio the estimated value in II.2.6 of this Contract Notice shall be adopted. Similarly, the duration of the framework agreement shall be 4 years. The nine evaluation criteria will be individually scored and given a total aggregated score, out of a possible 50 marks, for each year of trading. Subsequently, each year's score will be weighted, with the most recent (\"Year 1\") weighted at 2/3rds and the previous (\"Year 2\") weighted at 1/3rd, and then aggregated to form an overall score for the two years out of 50 marks. If the economic operator is trading for less than 2 years, their financial ratios for the most recent full year of trading will be weighted at 2/3rds scored out of the total 50 marks. If the economic operator is trading for less than 1 year the information provided under III.1.2 b), will be prorated up to 1 year to calculate financial ratios for the a full year and this will be weighted at 2/3rds and scored out of the total 50 marks. A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved by an economic operator (either a single economic operator or a group of economic operators) is less than 25 marks, out of the potential total aggregated score of 50 marks. A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the economic operator is unable to provide appropriate information to enable the calculation of the financial ratios. 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. A \"group of economic operators\" is defined as an unincorporated consortium or joint venture."
