14. Part 1 of the standard format of PQQ is designed to probe tenderers' technical capability, capacity and financial strength; Part 2 looks at project specific issues. Acquisition teams MUST use Sections 1-5 of the standard format of PQQ attached to The PQQ guidance - this should avoid projects having to recreate documentation and enable tenderers to respond quickly, consistently and cost effectively. Project teams undertaking PFI projects are unlikely to need to follow Section 6 of Part 1 of the standard format - "Supply Chain Management". Please see Annex B para 2 for details.
15. A copy of Part 1 of the PQQ, which captures the company corporate information, should be sent to Supplier Relations Group (SRG) on return (in electronic format if possible). Should a supplier notify the acquisition team that MOD already holds the Part 1 information, the project team should contact SRGSD1 for a copy. Only current PQQs are retained by SRGSD1 (i.e. those that have been received in the previous 12 months).
