Description
SPD Question 2.C.1 Reliance on the capacities of other entities Bidders are required to complete a full SPD for each of the entities whose capacity they rely upon. SPD Question 2.D.1 Subcontractors on whose capacity the bidder does not rely Bidders are required to complete a shortened version of the SPD for each Subcontractor on whose capacity the bidder does not rely on Exclusion Criteria. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. SPD Questions 3A – 3C have been identified as mandatory exclusion grounds and SPD Questions 3D have been identified as discretionary exclusion grounds. All the exclusion grounds will be assessed on a PASS/FAIL basis. For the mandatory exclusion grounds a bid will be excluded where the bidder fails to provide either a positive response or to provide details to the satisfaction of the Council of the self cleansing measures undertaken. For the discretionary exclusion grounds a bid may be excluded where the bidder fails to provide either a positive response or if the Council is not satisfied as to the self cleansing measures undertaken. SPD Question 4A.1 Trade Registers It is a requirement of this tender that if the bidder is UK based they must hold a valid registration with Companies House. Where the bidder is UK based but not registered at Companies House they must be able to verify to the Councils satisfaction that they are trading from the address provided in the tender and under the company name given.

Criterion 2
Minimum
SPD Question 4B.4 Economic and Financial Standing The Council will use the following ratios to evaluate a bidders financial status: - Profitability – this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio; - Liquidity – this 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. - Gearing – this is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage. If the answer is less than or equal to 100% it is considered a pass for this ratio. Bidders must provide the name and value of each of the 3 ratios within their response to SPD question 4B.4. The Council requires bidders to pass 2 out of the 3 financial ratios above. Where 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met, the Council may take the undernoted into consideration when assessing financial viability and the risk to the Council, providing that the Bidder can supply evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria when requested to do so. The following list is not exhaustive and other criteria may be considered where proposed by a bidder as mitigating factors: - Would the bidder have passed the checks if prior year accounts had been used? - Were any of the poor appraisal outcomes "marginal"? - Does the bidder operate in a market which, traditionally, requires lower liquidity or higher debt finance? - Does the bidder have sufficient reserves to sustain losses for a number of years? - Does the bidder have a healthy cashflow? - Is the bidder profitable enough to finance the interest on its debt? - Is most of the bidder's debt owed to group companies? - Is the bidder's debt due to be repaid over a number of years, and affordable? - Have the bidder's results been adversely affected by "one off costs" and / or "one off accounting treatments"? - Do the bidder's auditors (where applicable) consider it to be a "going concern"? - Will the bidder provide a Parent Company Guarantee? - Is the bidder the single supplier/source of the Goods/Works/Services in the marketplace? - The Council will request submission of and assess the bidders financial accounts, and may use financial verification systems to validate the information provided. SPD Question 4B.5 Insurance The bidder must confirm that they have or will commit to obtain prior to the commencement of the contract, the following levels of Insurance Cover: - Employer’s Liability Insurance covering the death of or bodily injuries to employees of the bidder arising out of and in the course of their employment in connection with this contract to the level of 10000000 GBP in respect of each claim, without limit to the number of claims. - Public Liability Insurance covering the death of or bodily injury to a person (not an employee of the bidder) or loss of or damage to property resulting from an action or failure to take action by the bidder to the level of 5000000 GBP in respect of each claim, without limit to the number of claims.
