III.1.1) Suitability to pursue the professional activity, including requirements relating to enrolment on professional or trade registers
List and brief description of conditions:
It is a requirement of this tender that if the bidder is UK based they must hold a valid registration with Companies House. Where the bidder is UK based but not registered at Companies House they must be able to verify to SPT's satisfaction that they are trading from the address provided in the tender and under the company name given.
If the bidder is based out-with the UK they must be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade register appropriate to their country as described in Schedule 5 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
III.1.2) Economic and financial standing
List and brief description of selection criteria:
With regards ESPD question 4B, SPT will use Dun and Bradstreet's DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of bidders.
In the event that the bidder does not have a dun and bradstreet rating or they consider that the rating has been adversely affected by factors which they can offer mitigating evidence for, SPT will use the following ratios to evaluate a bidder’s financial status.
1) Profitability – this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio;
2) Liquidity – this value is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or equal to 1 then it is a pass for this ratio;
3) Gearing – this value 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.
Minimum level(s) of standards required:
Bidders with a Failure Score of 51 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability.
In the absence of a dun and bradstreet score, bidders will require to evidence a pass in 2 out of 3 financial ratios described.
Where 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met, we may then take account of other factors when assessing financial viability and the risk to the organisation, providing that the bidder can submit acceptable evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria.
All tenderers must have or commit to obtain the following insurances:
Failure to use the skill and care normally used by professionals (professional indemnity insurance) in connection with this contract for any one event is 10 000 000 GBP.
Loss of or damage to property (except the works, plant and materials and equipment) and liability for bodily injury to or death of a person (not an employee of the contractor) caused by activity in connection with this contract for any one event is 10 000 000 GBP. Death of or bodily injury to employees of the contractor arising out of and in the course of their employment in connection with this contract for any one event is 10 000 000 GBP.
