In this scenario the College will seek to obtain the relevant information and evidence from the second highest scoring bidder and so on, and upon verification will award the contract to this bidder instead.\nThe buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 29316. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343\n(SC Ref:803898)",

If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio;\nLiquidity - 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 \u0027one\u0027 then it is a pass for this ratio;\nGearing - 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.\nWhere 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met, the College may take the undernoted into consideration when assessing financial viability and the risk to the College, providing that the Bidder can supply evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria. This 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 \u0027marginal\u0027?\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 cash-flow?\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 \u2018one off costs\u2019 and / or \u2018one off accounting treatments\u2019?\nDo the bidder\u0027s auditors (where applicable) consider it to be a \u2018going concern\u2019?\nWill the bidder provide a Parent Company Guarantee?\nIs the bidder the single supplier/source of the Goods/Works/Services in the marketplace?\nThe College will obtain an Equifax Report or similar financial verification systems to validate the information provided.\nPlease refer to Part 4 B\nBidders must confirm they can provide the following supporting evidence prior to award:\nEmployer\u0027s (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 5,000,000 GBP\nPublic Liability Insurance = 10,000,000 GBP"
