Recently established companies that cannot present approved annual accounts can submit the accounts that have been completed. — Appropriate bank/parent company guarantees and/or relevant liability insurance. The Contracting Authority will regard bank/parent company guarantees or relevant liability insurance as suitable if these documents cover the Contracting Authority's financial risk where the tenderer does not have the financial or economic capacity to fulfil the contract. The Contracting Authority's financial risk means economic loss caused by non fulfilment of the contract. Parent Companies providing guarantees must document that they themselves comply with the requirement for ‘the company's solidity’. The tenderer is free to provide other information that can be seen as relevant for the assessment of whether the company's solidity requirement is fulfilled.
