Section III: Legal, economic, financial and technical information

List and brief description of selection criteria: A form of financial assessment from each tenderer is required and the Authority will undertake an action using Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) to obtain a Financial Risk Score (D&B Failure Score) for the Tenderer and any consortia or reliance members. If the D&B Failure Score is 51 or more you will receive a pass for this assessment. If the D&B Failure Score is less than 51 or no D&B Failure Score is available we will contact the Tenderer and seek further information. We will then use this further information to assess the Tenderer’s level of financial risk. If this assessment identifies an unmanageable risk (i.e it is unacceptable) the Tenderer will fail this assessment. In the event that the Tenderer does not meet the financial criteria above, they may still be considered via some form of other assurance e.g. Parent Company Guarantee (providing parent has a D&B Failure Score of 51 or more) or a performance bond. There must be no qualification or contra-indication from any evidence provided in support of the Tenderers economic and financial standing. Please note sub-contractors must also have a D&B failure score of 51 or more Details of the D&B ”A Guide to Dun & Bradstreet’s Predictive Analytics” – can be found using the http address below: *Note to Tenderers* - there is no action for Tenderers to undertake regarding company Financial Assessment. The Authority will undertake the action as detailed above.
