Conditions for participation

Economic and financial standing

List and brief description of selection criteria:  
List and brief description of selection criteria:
Selection criteria as stated in the procurement documents.
See Section 4 of the SQ (available to download at https://yortender.eu-supply.com
Economic operators must be able to submit either a copy of the audited accounts for the
most recent two (2) years if requested. If it cannot, then it must provide either:
a) a statement of the turnover, Profit and Loss Account/ Income Statement, Balance
Sheet/Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Cash Flow for the most recent year of trading for this organisation;
b) a statement of the cash flow forecast for the current year and a bank letter outlining the
current cash and credit position; or
c) alternative means of demonstrating financial status if any of the above are not available
(e.g. forecast of turnover for the current year and a statement of funding provided by the
owners and/or the bank, charity accruals accounts or an alternative means of demonstrating
financial status).
Economic operators must also confirm whether or not they are part of a wider group (e.g. a
subsidiary of a holding/parent company), and if so must provide confirmation of:
a) the name of the organisation;
b) the relationship to the economic operator completing the SQ; the organisation's company
accounts (if available); and confirmation on whether or not this organisation would be willing
to provide a guarantee if necessary, and if not would the economic operator be able to obtain
a guarantee elsewhere (e.g. from a bank)
Insurance -
See Section 8.1 of the SQ (available to download at: https://yortender.eu-supply.com
Economic operators are asked to self-certify whether they already have, or can commit to
obtain, prior to the commencement date of the Contract, the levels of insurance cover
indicated below:
a) Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance £10,000,000 (in relation to any one claim or
series of claims);
b) Public Liability Insurance, including Product Liability Insurance £10,000,000 (in
relation to any one claim or series of claims); and
Finance
See Section 4 of the Selection Questionnaire (available to download at https://yortender.eu-supply.com
The rationale applied will be economic operators being able to supply any one of the
documents listed in Section 4.1 (a) to (c) in order to demonstrate financial standing as
requested under Section 4 of the SQ. Failure by an economic operator to supply on request
either a copy of the audited accounts for the most recent two (2) years or any one of the document listed in (a) - (c) in Section 4.1 of the SQ may also result in exclusion. Further, any answers which leads the contracting authority, acting reasonably, to conclude (considering the risk that the relevant answer suggests about the economic operator's ability to properly perform the Contract) that it would be inappropriate to select the economic operator on this occasion may result in exclusion.
In addition, if an economic operator indicates in Section 5 of the SQ that its parent
or holding company is prepared to guarantee the performance of the economic operator's
company, the information provided in response to Sections 5.1 to 5.3 will be used in the
financial assessment of the economic operator.
Insurance -
See 8.1 of the SQ (available to download at: https://yortender.eu-supply.com
Failure to indicate 'Yes' to any of the required insurances stated in Section 8.1 will result in
exclusion.

Review procedure

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures: 
In accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract or conclude a framework),Regulation 87 (Standstill periods) and Chapter 6 (Applications to Court) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), the contracting authority will incorporate a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the award of the Contract is communicated to economic operators. This period allows any unsuccessful economic operator(s) to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the award of the Contract to the successful economic operators. Such additional information should be requested from the address at Sections I.1 and I.3 of this Notice above. If an appeal regarding the award of the Contract has not been successfully resolved, then the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be started within thirty (30) days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or sought to have grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the time limited for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason for doing so, but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than three (3) months after that date. Where the Contract has not been awarded, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If however the Contract has been awarded, the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the Contract to be ineffective.
