Section III: Legal, economic, financial and technical information
III.1) Conditions for participation
III.1.2) Economic and financial standing
List and brief description of selection criteria: It is a requirement of this Contract that Tenderers hold, or can commit to obtain prior to the commence of any subsequently awarded
Contract, indicated below:
SPD Question 4B5 Insurances
Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 10 million GBP in respect of each claim without limit to the number of claims. Tenderers
may be required to provide their current Employers Liability Insurance certificate which should include name of the insurers, policy
numbers, expiry date and limits for any one incident and annual aggregate caps and the excesses under the policies.
Public Liability Insurance = 5 million GBP in respect of each claim without limit to the number of claims. Tenderers may be required to
provide a copy of their current Public Liability Insurance certificate.
Product Liability Insurance = 5 million GBP in respect of each claim without limit to the number of claims. Tenderers may be required to
provide a copy of their current Professional Indemnity Insurance certificate.
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’s 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 30 then the SPA reserve the right to remove you
from this contract. It is the Contractor’s 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.
III.1.3) Technical and professional ability:
List and brief description of selection criteria: Tenderers are required to provide three examples of providing similar products to other police authorities in the last 3
