If, following this review, Bidders consider that the Equifax Score does not reflect their current financial status, the Bidder should attach a document to this section 4B giving a detailed explanation, together with any relevant supporting independent evidence. The Wheatley Group will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Bidders financial status. Where the Bidder is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Equifax or equivalent rating, they must provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their Tender Submission in order that the Wheatley Group may assess these to determine the suitability of the Bidder to undertake a contract or contracts of this size. Where a consortium bid is received, the Equifax Score of each consortium member shall be assessed. Where the Bidder is a subsidiary of a group but is applying as a separate legal entity and fails to meet the minimum financial turnover requirements or minimum Equifax (or equivalent) as a company, in order to progress to stage two of the evaluation they must provide as part of their tender submission, written confirmation from an authorised signatory of the parent company, that a parent company guarantee will be provided within two weeks of request. The parent company must meet the minimum financial requirements as assessed by the Wheatley Group. Bidders(s), if requested, will also be required to provide 2 years audited accounts, or equivalent prior to the award of Framework.
