  "description": "e SPD question 4B.6 West Lothian Council will use Dun and Bradstreet\u00e2\u0080\u0099s DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of tenderers. Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts.\r\n In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun \u0026 Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period.\r\n It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun \u0026 Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender.\r\n In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee.\r\n Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected.\r\n TUPE \u00e2\u0080\u0093 The incoming Contractor is responsible for obtaining legal and professional advice about relevant TUPE implications.\r\n CONFIDENTIALITY - All information supplied by the Authority must be treated in confidence and not disclosed to third parties except\r\n insofar as this is necessary to obtain sureties or quotations for the purpose of submitting the tender. All information supplied by you to the\r\n Authority will similarly be treated in confidence except:\r\n (i) for any information required to be disclosed or otherwise provided by the Authority to any person in order to comply with the Freedom of\r\n Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and any codes of practice applicable from time to time relating to access to public authorities\u00e2\u0080\u0099 information.\r\n The Tenderer shall co-operate, facilitate, support and assist the Authority in the provision of this information. In the event the Authority is required to provide information to any person as a result of a request made to it under such Act and/or codes, the Authority shall adhere to the requirements of such Act and/or codes in disclosing information relating to this Agreement, the Project documents and the Contractor.\r\n (ii) that references may be sought from banks, existing or past clients, or other referees submitted by the tenderers;\r\n (iii) for the disclosure of such information with regard to the outcome of the procurement process as may be required to be published in the\r\n Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with EU directives or elsewhere in accordance with the requirements of UK government policy on the disclosure of information relating to government contracts.\r\n Community Benefits Information will be scored/evaluated in accordance with West Lothian Council Community Benefits Procedure\r\n The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 31262. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343\r\n A sub-contract clause has been included in this contract.
