Step 2: If the tenderer (or any consortium or reliance partner) scores below 50, 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. If this assessment identifies an unacceptable risk then the tenderer (or consortia or reliance partner) will fail this assessment. 2. Insurances. For question 4B5 of the ESPD, 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. 3. Financial Accounts For Question 4B6 of the ESPD, 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.",
