The Authority will undertake a Company Financial Assessment for each Tenderer using Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Failure Risk Score for

the Tenderer and any consortia or reliance members. Details of the D&B "A Guide to Dun & Bradstreet’s Predictive Indicators" – can be

found using the http address below: https://www.dnb.co.uk/about-us/our-analytics/predictors-scores-ratings/scores-ratings.html

There must be no qualification or contra-indication from any evidence provided in support of the Tenderers economic and financial standing. The Authority has the right to request copies of financial accounts and insurance certificates which are not held electronically.

If the D&B Failure Risk Score is 50 or more you will receive a pass for this assessment. If the D&B Failure Risk Score is less than 50 or no D&B Risk Failure score is available the Authority will contact the Tenderer and seek further information.

The Authority will then use this further information to assess the Tenderer’s level of failure risk. In the event that the Tenderer does not meet the financial criteria above and/or the level of failure risk after assessment of further information is considered to be too high, they may still be considered via some form of other assurance e.g. Parent Company Guarantee (providing parent has a failure risk score of 50 or

more) or a performance bond. If this assessment identifies an unmanageable risk (i.e. it is unacceptable) the Tenderer will fail this assessment.

SPD Statements 4B.5 Insurance requirements: It is a requirement that tenderers hold or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract the types of insurance indicated below:

Public Liability Insurance in the sum of not less than 5,000,000 GBP and;

Employer’s (Compulsory) Liability Insurance in the sum of not less than 5,000,000 GBP or in accordance with any legal obligation for the time being in

force.

In responding to Question Ref 4B.5 where the economic operator responds “No, and I cannot commit to obtain it” they shall be marked as FAIL and shall be excluded from this procurement competition.
