Pre-Qualification Questionnaire

Notes

Technical capacity and ability are not defined in the Procurement
Regulations.  Questions have arisen as to whether technical capacity would cover
the ability to comply with legal requirements, for example, health and safety legislation, equal opportunities or environmental management.  

Whilst some Local Authorities have included specific questions on these aspects
as part of a PQQ, Local Authorities must take care when including such provisions and
legal advice should be sought on whether it is acceptable to include provisions relating
to health, safety, equal opportunities and environmental protection in the PQQ.

Model questions on quality assurance, health and safety, equal opportunities
and environmental management are included in this model PQQ should Local
Authorities determine that questions on such aspects are acceptable.

Some Local Authorities use the Department of Trade and Industry
pre-qualification database 'Constructionline'.  Relevant Organisations may have already supplied some of the information and documents requested in this Pre-Qualification Questionnaire to Constructionline.  

This Pre-Qualification Questionnaire identifies the information and documents
that firms registered on Constructionline need not provide.  Local Authorities
registered with Constructionline will need to amend the Questionnaire accordingly.
