six.3) Additional information
Organisations shall be experienced in providing similar services and if interested in being invited to Tender for the Framework are required, to complete a Selection Questionnaire containing information about their economic and financial standing, technical capability and other general information. This information will be assessed to establish that the organisation is financially viable and technically capable of undertaking Call-Off Contracts of the nature covered by the Framework. In addition, organisations will have to satisfy the mandatory and discretionary grounds for exclusion contained in the Selection Questionnaire. Organisations are advised that there is a minimum technical requirement for being invited to tender and irrespective of whether they satisfy any other aspect of the Selection Questionnaire the organisation will not be invited to Tender if they do not pass the minimum requirement.
Organisations at this stage are requested to indicate on the Selection Questionnaire which Lots they are expressing interest in. However, there is no commitment required until the second Invitation to Tender stage. Successful organisations invited to Tender may apply for one or any more of the Lots they consider appropriate to the type of services they provide. However, organisations shall be aware that an organisation can only be appointed to one Lot.
The Authority carries out financial appraisals of all organisations that Tender for the Authority’s contracts to ensure that such organisations satisfy the Authority’s minimum standards of economic and financial standing. In this instance the Authority has set the following financial threshold for the Contract:
For organisations with an annual turnover of £25,000 or less a statement of cashflow forecast for the current year will be required. In addition, a letter will need to be provided from the bank outlining the current cash and credit position of the organisation.
All organisations with an annual turnover above £25,000 will be financially assessed as described in Part 2: SQ Evaluation, Section 8 of the SQ Explanatory Document.
The Authority retains discretion to exclude any organisation that fails to meet this standard.
