Why do buyers and suppliers still refer to the method of qualifying suppliers (during a public procurement process) as the PQQ? What is the Standard Selection Questionnaire?In my blog 'Tender Process Acronyms Explained' I touched on the Standard Selection Questionnaire and how it had replaced the PQQ. Twelve months on and the PQQ is still alive and kicking in the tendering world but why is this? The SQ provides the deal breakers, the pass / fail questions the buyer uses to determine if the bid will progress to the next stage of the tender process. In the case of the 'Open' procedure (both the SQ and the Invitation to Tender (ITT)/Request For Proposal (RFP) are sent to bidders at the same time), if the bid is rejected (based on the information contained within the SQ), the subsequent tender response and pricing will not be scored and the bidder will have no further involvement in the tender process. |
