Reasons for not meeting the required test to be disclosed by tenderers together with appropriate supporting evidence to confirm the suitability of the tenderer for the contract. - Positive Gearing Ratio for both financial years. i.e. an excess of shareholders funds/partners' capital accounts/owners equity over loan finance in both of the financial years.
