"description": "Bidders must refer to the ESPD(Scotland) Bidders Guidance Instructions document concerning Section B, Part IV, Economic and Financial Standing selection criteria. A form of Company Financial Assessment from each Tenderer is required. The Tender's failure risk will be evaluated as pass/fail. There is no action required here for the Tenderer, the Authority will undertake an action using Dun & Bradstreet ( D&B), to obtain a Failure Risk Score ( D&B Failure Score) for the Tenderer and any consortia or reliance members. If the failure score is 51 or more you will receive a pass for this assessment. If the score is less than 51 or no failure score is available we will contact the Tenderer and seek further information. We will then use this further information to assess the Tenderer's level of failure risk. If this assessment identifies an unmanageable risk ( i.e. it is unacceptable ) the Tenderer will fail this assessment. In the event that the Tenderer does not meet the financial criteria above, they may still be considered via some form of other assurance e.g. Parent Company Guarantee ( providing the parent has a failure risk score of 51 or more) or a performance bond. There must be no qualifications or contra-indication from any evidence provided in support of the Tendered economic and financial standing. Details of the D&B \"A Guide to Dun & Bradstreet's Predictive Indicators\" - can be found using the http address below: https://www.dnb.co.uk/about-us/our-analytics/predictors-scores-rating/scores-ratings.html *Note to Tenderer* There is no action for Tenderers to undertake regarding company Financial Assessment. The Authority will undertake the action as detailed above.",
