Economic and financial capacity
The following minimum level should be satisfied by each interested service provider submitting a PQQ response:
— It should have a 3 year mean average turnover (based on information supplied in response to the PQQ) which is equal to or exceeds 3 times the estimated minimum annual contract value for the Service ("Turnover Threshold).
Interested service providers are directed to the information below regarding who is subject to these tests and how they are carried out, depending on whether the service provider is a single organisation or consortium.
For the avoidance of doubt where an interested service provider is constituted by way of:
— A single organisation, the single organisation must pass the Turnover Threshold.
— A single consortium (i.e. 2 or more persons, at least one of whom is an economic operator, acting jointly for the purpose of being awarded a public contract) the consortium must pass the Turnover Threshold. In order to calculate whether a consortium service provider passes the Turnover Threshold the 3 year mean average turnover for each consortium member (based on information supplied in response to the PQQ) will be calculated and for each consortium member the result will be multiplied by their (actual and anticipated) percentage equity stake (as identified in the response to the PQQ) in the legal entity to be formed to deliver the services under the Agreement and the totals will then be added together. It is this combined figure that will need to pass the Turnover Threshold .Each member of the consortium will on their own standing be required to pass all tests set down in Section E Economic and Financial Standing of the PQQ. Please see the PQQ for further information.
As stated in the PQQ which may be obtained using the guidance provided in section VI.3) below.
