"description": "On behalf of the SCPA, the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) uses Creditsafe, an independent provider of online business credit reports, to assess the financial standing of tenderers. Tenderers are encouraged to review their financial performance on Creditsafe and read information about how that data is collected and used prior to submitting a tender. Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at http://www.creditsafe.com/products/business-credit-reports/ If a tenderer does not agree with the credit rating it has been given it can provide supporting evidence to demonstrate its current position and this will be taken into account when the financialstanding is being assessed. If a tenderer is not listed on Creditsafe, for whatever reason, then it may be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required assessment of financial standing to be carried out. Tenderers should have a Creditsafe credit rating of 30 or higher to demonstrate satisfactory financial standing. If a tenderer has a lower credit rating score and has the backing of a parent company with a credit rating of 30 or higher the provision of a Parent Company Guarantee prior to the award of any contract will be acceptable. If a tenderer has a lower credit rating score and no evidence to support astable or improved financial standing then the tender may be rejected. Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required: With reference to ESPD question 4B.5,it is a requirement that bidders hold, or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of anysubsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below: Employers' (Compulsory) Liability Insurance 5million GBP Professional Indemnity Insurance 5million GBP"
