Examples include PAS2035, NICEIC, Gas Safe, MCS etc. Specific  requirements are all set out in the specification and/or the assessment questions for each individual lot, and any mandatory requirements are made clear in the assessment questions.
For a number of the installation lots, LHC are requesting that bidders either already hold, or, commit to gaining PAS2030 accreditation for the lots they are applying for in order to be considered for this framework. Please refer to the tender documentation for further information on this.

minimum: Minimum annual turnover requirements range from 0-3.5M GBP depending on the lot. Please refer to the ITT document for the full breakdown.

LHC will assess the Bidder's suitability to be considered for the Framework in terms of their financial capacity, technical capability and good standing as an organisation. This will be carried out in 5 steps as follows:
Step 1 - Completeness of submission
Step 2 - Assessment of the qualification criteria
Step 3 - Financial stability assessment
Step 4 - Insurance requirements
Step 5 - Accreditations and certifications
For the financial stability assessment, LHCs' financial team will undertake the following process to carry out a robust assessment of a Bidders' financial standing:
1) Credit score - LHC use Creditsafe to carry out initial checking of a Bidders' financial status and help inform the subsequent assessments carried out by LHC. Should any financial risk or low score be flagged within the Creditsafe information, LHC may also review independent reports from other credit referencing agencies such as Equifax, Dunn and Bradstreet, and Baker Tilly to help inform our assessment.
2) Annual Turnover - Bidders will be assessed based on their average annual turnover for the past 3 years by comparison to the minimum turnover requirements set out in the contract notice and/or tender document documents for the lot/s they have applied for.
3) Profitability, Stability and Liquidity Assessment - Bidders will be assessed on their financial stability based on a range of financial information obtained from the Bidders annual accounts

the Scottish Procurement Alliance, Welsh Procurement Alliance, and South West Procurement Alliance) for whom we continue to monitor up to 500 live projects at any one time. Thanks to their ongoing and collective feedback and input into the development of this framework and given the reach and scale of their collective portfolios, the framework is both designed and anticipated to support the vast majority of requirements. Consequently, other
contracting authorities that were not specifically consulted in the development of this framework may nevertheless also deem the framework to offer a value for money procurement solution for their own requirements and may also use the framework. As of the
