Review Details
ESPO will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by ESPO as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why the applicant was unsuccessful. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2105 No. 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take legal action. Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order for any document to be amended and may award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order for a fine to be paid, and/or order the duration of the contract be shortened. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.

Contract terms

Performance Terms
The minimum financial requirement for the purposes of the current tender exercise is: As a minimum standard, there should be no material concerns as to the financial stability of the Tenderer indicating that the contract may not be satisfied. In order to determine this, a full financial analysis will be performed by ESPO (please see the ratios in the table at Appendix C of the Invitation to Tender document, see Section II.1.4 of this notice as to how to access the Tender documents). The tests that will be applied and will be undertaken on the Tenderer's last 2 years accounts (or more), or if the Tenderer has not been trading for 2 years then the financial accounts for the period that that Tenderer has been trading will be used for the analysis: • Analysis of gross profit margin* • Analysis of operating profit margin* • Change in turnover* • Net profit* • Net assets • No. of debtor's days • No. of creditor's days • Stock Turnover (as applicable - normally shown as a figure p.a.) • Liquidity (Acid Test - generally the higher the better, anything greater than 1 is good. In other words your liquid assets are greater than your liquid liabilities) • Gearing (Bank Leverage) • Review of company event history (e.g. change in directors, new mortgages, other documentation filed with Companies House * Public Sector bodies and Third Sector organisations that are not obliged to report on profit or turnover, will not assessed on profitability or turnover. In addition to the above tests, ESPO will use a Credit Reference Agency to provide information on Tenderers. Where the Credit Reference Agency assigns the Tenderer a score indicating higher than moderate financial risk, ESPO will give further consideration to the financial information and financial stability of the Tenderer. If ESPO has any reasonable cause for concern in relation to this information that cannot be reasonably resolved then this could give rise to the tender being rejected. This contract will contain a contract monitoring clause which will require suppliers to ensure that there is no material detrimental change in their financial standing and/or their credit rating (as determined by use of a Credit Reference Agency).
