1) Credit score - LHC use Creditsafe to carry out initial checking of a Bidders' financial status and help inform the subsequent assessments carried out by LHC. Should any financial risk or low score be flagged within the Creditsafe information, LHC may also review independent reports from other credit referencing agencies such as Equifax, Dunn & Bradstreet and Baker Tilly to help inform our assessment.
2) Annual Turnover - Bidders will be assessed based on their average annual turnover for the past 3 years by comparison to the minimum turnover requirements set out in the contract notice and/or tender document documents for the lot/s they have applied for.

General Technical Questions - These are general quality questions that LHCPG consider to be equally applicable to all workstreams. Irrespective of the number of lots the Bidder is applying for they will only need to complete this once, and the scores provided by LHC following our assessment will be applied consistently for all lots the Bidder applies for. A Bidder response template for these questions is provided.
Workstream Specific Technical Questions - The template/s required to be completed are dependent on the lots the bidder is applying for. A Bidder response template for these questions is provided.
