III.2) Conditions for participation

III.2.1) Personal situation of economic operators, including requirements relating to enrolment on professional or trade registers

Information and formalities necessary for evaluating if the requirements are met: The Invitation to Tender (ITT) specifies the information each organisation is required to submit with its tender to enable the Authority to evaluate, inter alia, each organisation's economic, financial, technical and professional capacity including confirmation from each organisation that it is eligible to tender in accordance with regulation 23 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (the Regulations).

III.2.2) Economic and financial ability

Information and formalities necessary for evaluating if the requirements are met: The ITT specifies the information each organisation is required to submit with its tender to enable the Authority to evaluate, inter alia, each organisation's economic, financial, technical and professional capacity including confirmation from each organisation that it is eligible to tender in accordance with regulation 23 of the

Regulations.

Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required: Notwithstanding evaluation of the information provided to the Authority in accordance with the ITT, the Authority's minimum requirements for financial considerations (in accordance with regulation 15(12) of the Regulations) relates to the contract limit, which is the maximum contract value that a tenderer should be expected to tackle within its financial capacity. The Authority will use a notional calculation to calculate the contract limit, based on turnover of the tenderer in order to confirm whether the tenderer is large enough to perform the contract. The contract limit is calculated by taking the tenderer's average turnover for the last 3 years and halving it. If the tenderer's tendered annual contract price exceeds the contract limit, it is unlikely that the tenderer on its own has adequate resources to perform the services. The Authority will adopt the following approach when evaluating an organisation's economic and financial standing:

— where the tendered contract price is greater than the contract limit, tenderers may be eliminated from the procurement process. The decision to allow an organisation to continue in the process is entirely at the Authority’s discretion. Where a tenderer remains in the process the Authority willrequire a parent company guarantee or bond or deed, provided the parent itself is suitable,

— where the tendered contract price is between 60 % and 100 % of the contract limit, the Authority will continue the financial appraisal and procurement process but a parent company guarantee or bond or deed will be required, provided the parent itself is suitable,

— where the tendered contract price is below 60 % of the contract limit, the financial appraisal and procurement process shall continue.

The Authority will also undertake a financial assessment of the tenderer, sub-contractors (if known) and if applicable the parent company including an audit of their last three years’ accounts. The Authority must be confident of a supplier's ability to fulfil a contract.
