II.1.4) Disgrifiad byr

The Council has an on-going requirement to procure Adult Supported Living Services. The Services will support vulnerable adults to live

in their own homes and to play an active part in their communities as much as they are able.

The Self-Directed Support (SDS) regulations offer Supported Persons a choice of provider to an extent not available through a Framework

or a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) therefore the Council is utilising an innovative Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) under the

Light Touch Rules contained in Regulations 74 – 76 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

The PSA will allow providers to be added over its 15 year term, this will facilitate Supported Person's choice.

SPD Question 4B.4 Economic and Financial Standing

The Council will use the following ratios to evaluate a bidders financial status:

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;

Liquidity – this is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or

equal to one then it is a pass for this ratio

Gearing – this 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.

Bidders must provide the name and value of each of the 3 ratios within their response to SPD question 4B.4.

The Council requires bidders to pass 2 out of the 3 financial ratios above.

Where 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met, the Council may take the undernoted into consideration when assessing financial viability and

the risk to the Council, providing that the Bidder can supply evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria when requested to do so.

The following list is not exhaustive and other criteria may be considered where proposed by a bidder as mitigating factors:

Would the bidder have passed the checks if prior year accounts had been used?

Were any of the poor appraisal outcomes "marginal"?

Does the bidder operate in a market which, traditionally, requires lower liquidity or higher debt finance?

Does the bidder have sufficient reserves to sustain losses for a number of years?

Does the bidder have a healthy cashflow?

Is the bidder profitable enough to finance the interest on its debt?

Is most of the bidder's debt owed to group companies?

Is the bidder's debt due to be repaid over a number of years, and affordable?
