Section three. Legal, economic, financial and technical information

three.1) Conditions for participation

three.1.2) Economic and financial standing

List and brief description of selection criteria

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) uses Creditsafe, an independent provider of online business credit reports, to assess the

financial standing of tenderers. We highly recommend that tenderers review their financial performance on Creditsafe to understand their

credit score rating which will be used by the SPCB to evaluate the financial standing of the tenderer and that they read the information

about how that data is collected and used prior to submitting a tender. Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at

http://www.creditsafe.com/products/business-credit-reports

The SPCB requires tenderers to have a Creditsafe Risk Score of 40 or higher to demonstrate satisfactory financial standing. If a tenderer

has a lower credit risk score than 40 on Creditsafe and has the backing of a parent company with a credit risk score of 40 or higher, then the

provision of a parent company guarantee will be required prior to the award of any contract. If a tenderer has a lower credit risk score than

40 and cannot provide a parent company guarantee, they must submit evidence to support a stable and improved financial standing with

their tender or the tender may be rejected. If no evidence is provided with the tender or the evidence provided is not sufficient to

demonstrate a satisfactory financial position to the satisfaction of the SPCB (whose decision in this regard shall be final), then the tender

will be rejected and will not be evaluated further.

If a tenderer is not listed on Creditsafe, for whatever reason, then it will be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required

assessment of financial standing to be carried out.  If the information provided does not, in the SPCB’s opinion, demonstrate a satisfactory

financial position, the bid may be rejected.
