Criterion 2
Type
economic
Description
Tenderers will be required to demonstrate appropriate economic and financial standing to deliver the requirements of the Framework Agreement. The following selection criteria will apply: Minimum Annual Turnover Tenderers must have a minimum “general” annual turnover for the last two financial years. The minimum turnover requirement varies by Lot and has been set in proportion to the estimated annual value of each Lot. Financial Ratio (Current Ratio) Tenderers must demonstrate a minimum current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) for both the current and prior financial year. Minimum ratios vary by Lot. Insurance Requirements Tenderers must hold, or commit to obtaining prior to contract commencement, the following minimum levels of insurance: Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance Public Liability Insurance Professional Indemnity Insurance
Minimum
Minimum Annual Turnover and Financial Ratio Requirements (by Lot) Minimum Turnover: 7 million GBP for each of the last two financial years for Lot 1 (Lot 1A and Lot 1B) Current ratio for Current Year: 1.2 Current ratio for Prior Year: 1.2 Minimum Turnover: 1.8 million GBP for each of the last two financial years for Lot 2 (Lot 2A and Lot 2B) Current ratio for Current Year: 1.2 Current ratio for Prior Year: 1.2 Where a Tenderer does not have an annual turnover of this value, the Council may exclude the Tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Tenderer’s suitability to proceed in the competition. The formula for calculating a Tenderer’s current ratio is current assets divided by current liabilities. The acceptable range for each financial ratio is greater than 1.2. Where a Tenderer’s current ratio is less than the acceptable value, the Council may exclude the Tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Tenderer’s suitability to proceed in the competition. Tenderers must also hold, or commit to obtaining prior to contract commencement, the following minimum levels of insurance: Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance 5 million GBP Public Liability Insurance 10 million GBP Professional Indemnity 2 million GBP Where a Tenderer does not hold or commit to obtaining the types and levels of insurance indicated, the Council will exclude the Tenderer from the competition.
