Section III: Legal, economic, financial and technical information
Licenced Asbestos Removal Contractors
Economic and financial ability
Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required:
Turnover: 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 two years exceeds GBP500,000, then it passes. Failure to meet the minimum turnover amount will exclude the tenderer to further evaluation. For new start-ups, demonstrate financial status (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). 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 will exclude the tenderer to further evaluation."
