16. Part 1 of the PQQ attached to The PQQ Guidance MUST NOT be amended save as described in this note and the specific points set out in Annex B.
17. In drawing up a Part 2 for the PQQ, acquisition teams should create their own questions on a project specific basis, suggestions for which are included in the Appendix, considering the following:
• The PQQ is designed to assess a potential tenderer's suitability for a particular project.
• The information sought must, therefore, be relevant to the project either from the point of view of assessing the ability of the potential tenderer to provide the service:
1) from a financial/economic viewpoint (hence, for example, questions relating to financial history, business capacity) where the MOD PFU or Supplier Engagement Team (SET) are able to offer assistance.
2) from a technical/operational viewpoint (hence, for example, questions relating to experience relevant to the project)
3) from a general professional expertise viewpoint (hence, for example, questions relating to PFI experience).
Questions should be limited to those that are essential to assess these matters.
