SPD Question 4B6 Financial Standing:
The Authority will access a Credit safe report for a Tenderers organisation and use the information contained within to assist with the
assessment of the Tenderer鈥檚 economic and financial standing. Tenders are asked to provide their company
number within the SPD to allow the Authority to access a Credit Safe Report. Within such reports, the risk of business failure is expressed
as a score of 30 or below (high risk of business failure). In the event that a company is determined to have a risk failure rating of 30 and
below i.e. that the company is considered to have a high risk of business failure, the submission will not be considered further. If you are
successful in the award of this contract and your risk failure rating falls below 30then the SPA reserve the right to remove you from this
contract. It is the Contractor鈥檚 responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date. For the avoidance
of doubt, the SPA will request a report from Credit Safe following the closing date for the receipt of the Tenders to ensure that the most up
to date information is used. Where you are not registered on Credit Safe e.g. charitable organisations or new start companies/ Sole Traders
with less than 3 years trading history, discretionary powers are available to the Director of Finance to consider abbreviated accounts along
with bankers references etc.
Tenderers should be aware that any outstanding County Court Judgements will have a detrimental effect on the rating held by Credit Safe
and it is your responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date - failure to do so will result in
rejection of your submission.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This requirement is not applicable to Sole Traders/ Charities. Sole Traders/ Charities may be required to provide a
bankers reference if successful.
