Bidders must confirm within their response to the relevant question within the Qualification Envelope, the name and value of the 3 financial ratios listed below as taken from their own Accounts. 1 Profitability - this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio; 2 Liquidity - this value is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or equal to one then it is a pass for this ratio; 3 Gearing - this value is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage. If the answer is less than or equal to 100% it is considered a pass for this ratio.",
