Given the potential complexity of PFI projects, the project team should supplement the standard format of PQQ as described [above at paras 13-15 …].
It may be appropriate in complex projects for bidders to be asked questions about different elements of service delivery, in which case, the relevant Member may be expressly permitted to answer only those relevant questions.
The following suggested questions may be useful:
1. Please provide details of the principal activities of each Member and the main type and range of services offered including an approximation of the number of staff in each main business area.
2. Please provide details of the skills and expertise of staff in activities of a similar type to those to be provided in this procurement and brief CVs of key personnel who are specifically employed in this area. The number of CVs is not to exceed [number] and each CV should include details relevant to the procurement and should be [no more than one page] in length.
3. Please describe up to [number] projects from the Applicant's experience over the past 3 years in each of the following categories; where that experience comes from one or more (but not all) Members, the participating Member(s) should be identified. Please include details of: the customer; start and end dates (including an explanation of any delay); approximate value:
3.1 Defence projects under the UK Government's Private Finance Initiative;
3.2 Other projects under the UK Government's Private Finance Initiative;
