Full information on Insurance is contained in the tender documentation. With regards SPD Q 4B, SPT will use Dun & Bradstreet's DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of bidders. Bidders with a Failure Score of 51 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Bidders must confirm within their response to the relevant question within the Qualification Envelope, the value of their D&B Failure Score. In the event that the bidder does not have a Dun & Bradstreet rating or they consider that the rating has been adversely affected by factors which they can offer mitigating evidence for, we will use the following ratios to evaluate a bidder's financial status. Bidders must confirm within their response to the relevant question within the Qualification Envelope, the name & value of the 3 financial ratios listed below as taken from their own Accounts. Profitability this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends & minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio; 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;"
