Interested parties are invited to complete the Qualification Questionnaire. While this Panel will remain open for applications for the entire duration of five (5) years, candidates wishing to be considered for requirements arising in the near future must respond by the specified deadline (which is set as an initial deadline).
Responses to the Questionnaire will be assessed in accordance with the selection criteria and minimum rules summarised in Appendix 1 of this document, which is on the basis of the pass/fail criteria set out in the questionnaire. The criteria are aimed at establishing the technical and professional abilities of candidates. It is emphasised that admission to the Panel will be contingent upon attaining a ‘pass’ score under each criterion.
All those who qualify will be admitted to the Panel. This is not a guarantee of any contract being awarded.
