(c) A statement of the undertaking's overall turnover and, where appropriate, of turnover in the area covered by the contract for a maximum of the last three financial years available, depending on the date on which the undertaking was set up or the economic operator started trading, as far as the information on these turnovers is available.

Justification for the use of the accelerated open procedure is due to the recent conclusion of a review of how Salford City Council procures its energy supplies and the recent findings being presented which demonstrates the potential of significant savings. The recommended procurement strategy isn't possible via the traditional method of procuring through a framework agreement, which has been the normal route to market, and has resulted in the Council having to conduct a tender on the open EU market in compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015, meaning the prescribed timescales under the open procedure are not possible whilst ensuring new contracts are in place for the 1.4.2016.
All offers will be evaluated using an electronic reverse auction that will compare all component costs and pass through costs on a like for like basis. All suppliers will be invited to tender and have access to the reverse auction via a log on code. Log on codes and references to be issued on acceptance of participation in the reverse auction.
