If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for\nthis ratio;\nLiquidity \u2013 this is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or\nequal to one then it is a pass for this ratio;\nGearing \u2013 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.\nBidders must provide the name and value of each of the 3 ratios within their response to SPD question 4B.4.\nThe Council requires bidders to pass 2 out of the 3 financial ratios above.\nWhere 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.\nThe following list is not exhaustive and other criteria may be considered where proposed by a bidder as mitigating factors:\nWould the bidder have passed the checks if prior year accounts had been used?\nWere any of the poor appraisal outcomes \"marginal\"?\nDoes the bidder operate in a market which, traditionally, requires lower liquidity or higher debt finance?\nDoes the bidder have sufficient reserves to sustain losses for a number of years?\nDoes the bidder have a healthy cashflow?\nIs the bidder profitable enough to finance the interest on its debt?\nIs most of the bidder\u0027s debt owed to group companies?\nIs the bidder\u0027s debt due to be repaid over a number of years, and affordable?\nHave the bidder\u0027s results been adversely affected by \"one off costs\" and / or \"one off accounting treatments\"?\nDo the bidder\u0027s auditors (where applicable) consider it to be a \"going concern\"?\nWill the bidder provide a Parent Company Guarantee?\nIs the bidder the single supplier/source of the Goods/Works/Services in the marketplace?\nThe Council will request submission of and assess the bidders financial accounts, and may financial verification systems to validate the\ninformation provided.\nSPD Question 4B.5 Insurance\nThe bidder must confirm that they have or will commit to obtain prior to the commencement of the contract, the following levels of Insurance Cover:\nEmployer\u2019s 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.\nPublic 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\nto the number of claims.",
