Tenderers must achieve a D&B failure score for 20 or above to pass this section.

The Tenderer will be notified if supplementary investigations into the financial stability are being undertaken. Where the Tenderer intends to sub-contract more than 25% of any Contract value to a single sub-contractor, the Tenderer must provide a D&B comprehensive report on the sub-contractor. The Council reserves the right to request one copy of all sub-contractors last 2 financial years' audited accounts and details of significant changes since the last financial year end.
