The Wheatley Group will utilise Equifax to assist in its determination of the organisations financial status and risk. It is recommended that Tenderers review their own Equifax Score in advance of submitting their Tender submission. If, following this review, Tenderers consider that the Equifax Score does not reflect their current financial status, the Tenderer should attach a document to their tender submission, clearly referenced, giving a detailed explanation, together with any relevant supporting independent evidence. The Wheatley Group will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderers financial status. Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Equifax or equivalent rating, they must provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their Tender Submission in order that the Wheatley Group may assess these to determine the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract or contracts of this size.

Eligibility requirements: In respect of Lot 1 — up to 30 units and Lot 2 — 31 Units and Above: Professional Membership. Tenderers must be a member of the Chartered Institute of Building. It is a mandatory requirement for Tenderers to hold the above membership.
