To determine these standards each Economic Operator Parent Company shall: (a) in response to SPD Question Ref. 4B.1.a 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 SPD Question Ref 4B.5a, 4B.5b and 4B.5c confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to commencement of the contract the required levels of insurance; (c) in response to SPD Question Ref 4B.6 provide the name, range and score of nine financial criteria for each year for the last two (2) years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two (2) years. As a Parent Company Guarantee is required, the information requested should be provided for the Parent Company for each Economic Operator who will be evaluated as a requirement for this contract. In the case of a consortium bid, the parent company guarantee of each Economic Operator is required to provide copies of its annual accounts; (d) in response to SPD Question Ref 4B.6 confirm that not later than 30 days prior to the commencement of service date, a validly executed Bond and Undertaking by an insurance company or bank will be provided, which shall be jointly and severally bound with the Economic Operator in the sum of GBP 500,000 for the due performance of this Contract under the terms of such Bond and Undertaking. In addition to the information requested under (a) to (d), 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. 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. Economic Operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing (Question Ref 4B.6). Please refer to document \"III.1.2 Economic and Financial Standing Evaluation Criteria Ratios and Scoring - TSSC\" as provided. The following nine evaluation criteria shall be scored, for each year for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years: 1. 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 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. The \"Economic and Financial Standing Evaluation Criteria Ratios and Scoring - TSSC\" is attached to this Notice for further breakdown and explanation. 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.",

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, will be prorated up to 1 year to calculate financial ratios for the full year and this will be weighted at 2/3rds and scored out of the total 50 marks.

Provide suitable responses to statements (E), (F), (G), (H), (I), (J), and (K) set out in the attached supplementary document \"TSSC - SPD Technical & Professional Ability Statements\" providing the individual statements and relative weightings demonstrating that they have the required minimum standards of eligibility and technical and professional ability to meet the specified requirements. Note that statements (B), (C), and (D) require Economic Operators to demonstrate that they have in place appropriate quality, environmental and health and safety management systems. Economic Operators should specify their recognised accredited system which shall be adopted if awarded the contract. Economic Operators are required to confirm their compliance and be able to provide the appropriate certification in relation to quality, environmental and health and safety management systems. These statements shall be answered by single Economic Operators and by groups of Economic Operators (group members should not respond individually). A \"group of Economic Operators\" is defined as an unincorporated consortium or joint venture. Responses to Statements (A) - (D) shall be assessed on the basis of PASS or FAIL. Economic Operators who fail to satisfy these minimum mandatory standards (either they answer 'No' or fail to provide an acceptable answer) shall be excluded from the procurement competition. The responses to Statements (E) - (K) shall be assessed (following all evaluators individual scores being averaged), using the following scoring mechanism: - Nil or Inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate previous experience/capacity/capability relevant to the criterion (0 Unacceptable) - Response is inadequate. The response fails to demonstrate elements of relevance to the criterion, insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate previous relevant experience/capacity/capability (1 Inadequate) - Response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response shows some elements of relevance to the criterion but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate previous relevant experience/capacity/capability (2 Poor) - Response is relevant and acceptable. The response demonstrates broad previous experience, knowledge and skills/capability/capacity but may lack in some aspects of similarity e.g. previous experience, knowledge or skills may not be of a similar nature (3 Acceptable) - Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good amount of experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients (4 Good) - Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates thorough experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients (5 Excellent) Interested parties should note that a submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the average score (averaged across panel members) achieved for either statements (E), (F), (G), (H), (I), (J) and (K) is less than 3. Where a response is equal to or greater than 3 for Statements (E), (F), (G), (H), (I), (J) and (K) it shall be weighted in order to calculate a score out of 100 for the 7 statements.",
