Spotted something wrong?

The pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) is your first chance to impress your potential client. You are likely to be asked to provide the following information:

  • basic details of your organisation
  • financial information
  • business activities
  • references from previous clients
  • insurance details
  • details of any recognised quality management certificates
  • copies of your health and safety, equal opportunities and environmental management policies
  • professional and business standing of the organisation and its directors/trustees, for example, details of any criminal records or bankruptcies
  • examples of relevant experience in the service area of the contract
  • first indications of how you propose to deliver the service.

Sample PQQs are available from OGC. These include above and below thresholds examples.
