Applying for advertised contracts
The contract notice or advertisement will invite companies to submit an expression of interest for a contract.
Once expressions of interest have been received, if the council is not using Constructionline or a supplier is not a member of Constructionline, suppliers will be required to submit a PQQ, which will be available to download via the CHEST.
It is important that suppliers provide all the information requested and respond by the due date otherwise they may be rejected from the process.
The type of information required in a PQQ may include some or all of the following:
- Company details
- Financial information
- Management and business structure
- Resources and staff training
- Quality assurance
- Environmental matters
- Insurance cover
- Equality and diversity policies
- Health and safety practices
- References.
