In the event that such additional measures are requested, the Council shall, in its sole discretion, determine the terms of those measures that it deems as acceptable. If Tenderers cannot provide measures to the satisfaction of the Council then their submission may be rejected. Risk or Credit reports from other agencies will not be considered. It is the Tenderers responsibility to ensure that all information held by Creditsafe is current and accurate when submitting their Tender. The Council will not enter into discussions with Tenderers who fail to ensure that their Creditsafe scores are accurate by the due submission date.
