Economic and financial capability
Minimum level(s) of standards required:
Turnover: this is calculated as twice the typical value for projects called off this framework. If a company’s turnover in each of the last 2 years exceeds 500 000 GBP, then it passes. Failure to meet the minimum turnover amount may exclude the tenderer to further evaluation. For new start-ups, the tenderer must demonstrate financial status (e.g. forecast of turnover for the current year together with a statement of funding provided by the owner/s and / or the bank, or an alternative means of demonstrating financial status. LHC shall consider the information and may accept the company with or without financial restrictions.
Profitability: this is calculated as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests.
Liquidity: this is calculated as current assets and work in progress, divided by current liabilities.
If a company passes both Profitability and Liquidity, the company meets the framework requirement.
If an economical operator fails either Profitability or Liquidity, LHC shall require additional financial information from tenderers, and take this into consideration in the financial assessment process and also obtain independent assessments on the financial information provided by the tenderer, or where applicable the Parent/Holding Company, and take this into consideration in the financial assessment. LHC shall consider the information and may accept the company with or without financial restrictions.
Failure to meet both Profitability and Liquidity criteria may exclude the tenderer to further evaluation.
