Bidders must comply with the undernoted financial requirements in order

to participate in the tendering process:-

There is a minimum financial requirement that affects trading performance and balance sheet strength

Financial requirements for trading performance and balance sheet strength should be calculated on latest filed accounts with Companies House

Trading Performance

An overall positive outcome on pre tax profits over a 3 year period

Exceptional items can be excluded from the calculation.

The above would be expressed in the ratio Pre-Tax Profit/Turnover

Balance Sheet strength

Net worth of the organisation must be positive at the time of evaluation and organisation must not be subject to an insolvency process.

Intangibles can be included for purposes of the Total Assets figure.

The above would be expressed in the ratio Total Assets/Total Liabilities

Companies that are only required to file abbreviated accounts, must submit full sets of accounts for the last two individual years filed, in order for the three year profitability requirement to be verified

An applicant should have no outstanding issues, with regard to statutory filing requirements with Companies House.

Applicants who have been trading for less than the 3 years noted above must provide evidence that they are complying with the above minimum financial requirements for the period in which they have been trading. Applicants who do not comply with the above financial requirements but are part of a Group, can provide a Parent Guarantee if the Parent company satisfies the financial requirements stipulated above.

Glasgow City Council will be prepared to consider applications from companies who currently do not comply with the financial requirements specifically set out for the trading and balance sheet strength ratios.

The above, however, should not impinge on the financial viability of the company, as defined by the ratios set out in the above financial requirements.

Glasgow City Council reserves the right, at its own discretion, to seek such other information from the Bidder in accordance with Regulations 61(7) or Regulation 61 (8) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 to prove the Bidder's economic and financial standing

Glasgow City Council (“the Council”) must, by notice in writing as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform all tenderers and candidates concerned of its decision to award the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish a dynamic purchasing system. The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last notice is sent, when sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the date of despatch of the notice referred to in Regulation 85(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations”).

The Council is obliged to comply with the Regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the Council, suffers or risks suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the Council must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of; or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition.

The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic Operators can write to the Council seeking further clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days. Economic Operators should be mindful to seek their own independent legal advice when they consider appropriate to do so.
