List and brief description of selection criteria:
Financial Assessment<br/><br/>The Council requires assurance that a company is in a sound financial position and able to support the contract.<br/><br/>The tables below are used to allocate scores against a range of standard financial assessment ratios. The total of these scores is used to set a Pass Mark. If a company scores below the Pass Mark, they are not eligible to be awarded the contract.<br/><br/>The scores for each ratio have been calculated by the Council’s Finance Department through an assessment of the accounts of a minimum of three companies, each agreed with the Commercial Hub and the Client as being able to provide the required services.<br/><br/>The maximum points score available from this model is 23. The minimum number of points required to be eligible to be awarded the contract (the Pass Mark) is given in Paragraph 2.18.<br/><br/>This means that the bottom-line score is the critical factor; scoring badly against the anticipated score in any one ratio can be offset by scoring better in another, making the assessment fair and balanced.
