How to engage

Candidates must comply with the undernoted financial requirements in order to participate in the tendering process: - There is a minimum financial requirement that affects trading performance, balance sheet strength and current liquidity. Financial requirements for trading performance and balance sheet strength should be calculated on latest filed accounts with Companies House. Trading Performance An overall positive outcome on EBITDA earnings over a 3-year period. Exceptional items can be excluded from the calculation. The above would be expressed in the ratio EBITDA/Turnover. Balance Sheet Strength Net worth of the organisation must be positive at the time of evaluation and organisation must not be subject to an insolvency process. Intangibles can be included for purposes of the Total Assets figure. The above would be expressed in the ratio Total Assets/Total Liabilities. If an applicant is only required to file abbreviated accounts with Companies House, then in the event of the company being successful in the procurement process, full set of accounts will be required in order to verify the above ratios have been complied with. An applicant should have no outstanding issues, with regard to statutory filing requirements with Companies House. Applicants who have been trading for less than the 3 years noted above must provide evidence that they are complying with the above minimum financial requirements for the period in which they have been trading. Applicants who do not comply with the above financial requirements but are part of a Group, can provide a Parent Guarantee if the Parent company satisfies the financial requirements stipulated above. If the pandemic has had an adverse effect on the latest set of accounts filed with Companies House, Glasgow City Council will take that into account in determining financial suitability for the contract. The above, however, should not impinge on the financial viability of the company, as defined
