What is a PQQ - Pre Qualification Questionnaire A (PQQ) is normally issued by the contracting authority when they require contractors to supply goods / products or services - It is one of the main documents that must be completed correctly and must be returned to the contracting authority by the specified date if the contractor wishes to be included in the tendering process and hope to win the contract. This document represents a standard PQQ and our objective to assist small firms in completing the document correctly - We will provide (1 hour) of free advice to all firms on request. In addition to this document, we provide a training programme for firms who wish to fully understand and successfully take part in tendering and procurement both in the private and public sector. Notes for Suppliers The purpose of this questionnaire is to assist [name of purchasing organisation] in deciding which suppliers to short-list to invite to tender for [identification of requirement]. In order to simplify this process, you don’t need to provide supporting documents, for example, accounts, certificates, statements or policies with this questionnaire. However, the purchasing organisation may ask to see these documents at a later stage. You may also be asked to clarify your answers or provide more details. Please answer every question. If the question does not apply to you please write N/A. If you don’t know the answer please write N/K. “Authority” means the purchasing organisation that is seeking to award a contract. “System” means processes and procedures to ensure that the project is properly managed. This includes making sure that legal requirements are met. Health and Safety Policy: Any business employing five or more people has, by law, to prepare and bring to the attention of employees a written Health and Safety Policy Statement. A Health and Safety Policy usually consists of three distinct sections namely: General Policy Statement – a short statement outlining the organisation’s commitment to Health and Safety, signed and dated by the senior organisation official (for example, the Managing Director). Organisation: How the organisation addresses health and safety; lines of communication between managers and staff; and any specific duties/responsibilities assigned within the organisation - this should be relatively straightforward for smaller organisations. Arrangements : The systems and procedures in place for ensuring employees’ health and safety at work

Copyright © Tendering for Contracts Training Ltd 1997 - 2009 In response to the market, all public sector agencies and the large private sector firms has developed a standard form of prequalification (PQQ) to enable their buying or procurement department to provide their generic prequalification details centrally and avoid the need for multiple pre-qualifications. This form should be completed and certified as being accurate by one of the company's directors. The completion of this form does not commit the authority / agency / firm in any way nor is it intended to circumvent any legal requirements required under EC Procurement Directives or Competition rules. The authority / agency /firm is at liberty to confirm any details entered on to the form and may request an audit of the detail giving reasonable notice. The form only requests generic company information and project specific pre-qualification detail may be requested separately at the appropriate time. It is anticipated that for certain tender exercises a director of the company may be required to confirm the accuracy of the information at the given time. The completed document may be provided either in hard copy or electronic format. All requests for clarification or further information in respect of a PQQ should be addressed to the named contact point. No approach of any kind in connection with a PQQ should be made to any other person within, or associated with the authority / agency / firm. General Guidance Notes:
