In this scenario Bidders must confirm within their response to question 4B.4 within the Qualification Envelope, the ratio name and value of the 3 financial ratios required as taken from their own Accounts. Where 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met, we may then take account of other factors when assessing financial viability and the risk to the organisation, providing that the Bidder can submit acceptable evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria.",

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.
