Dear Sir / Madam,
Re: Pre – qualification for PQQ responses
Thank you for expressing an interest in tendering to the London Borough of Camden in connection with the contract detailed above.
There are a number of headline questions which outlines criteria you need to meet. You will find these in the "Access Document" area of our e-tendering system.
The embeded questionnaire covering non contract specific questions is a linked document. This means that if you have completed this before your previous answers will be pre-populated in the sections but it is very important that you check these to ensure that the answers are still valid.
This contract has been given a Medium Risk Status and the appropriate assessment levels have been set to reflect this, see the following.
MEDIUM RISK STATUS
This contract has been set with a MEDIUM Risk Status by the contracting authority as part of the Financial Assessment strategy.All minimum threshold criteria (defined in contract notice/advert) must be met by the provider. The Financial Assessment will highlight Green, Amber and Red results which will be considered, and if necessary clarified with the provider.
Where [Red] results are found through Financial Assessment the contracting authority will not pass the provider through this procedure and their tender will not be considered further.
Where [Amber] results are found through Financial Assessment the contracting authority may subsequently seek further information or assurances from the provider with regard to the contract, such as requesting a parent company guarantee (PCG) or other relevant evidence of ability to deliver the contract in question. Further clarifications or requirements may be considered in the tender stage to ensure that any prevailing issues identified can be monitored between parties.
Please note, any page(s) in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire that require a signature must be printed off by the Provider, signed in the appropriate manner and scanned. The Provider must upload the scanned signature page(s) with their submission.
ALL communication with the procurement department should be directed through the messages tab in the system in order to have full record of all communication.
If you should have any technical problems with the electronic system please communicate with the EU Supply customer support desk by email at or by telephone 0800 840 2050 quoting the system record number.
The Council is bound by the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You are advised that, although the Council will use all reasonable endeavours to keep commercially sensitive and other information supplied by organisations (including their Expression of Interest and any subsequent bid) confidential, this is subject to the Council’s statutory obligations under the Act. When supplying information organisations are requested to indicate which information they consider is confidential and should not be disclosed (if a request for disclosure is received) and why.
I would like to thank you for your interest in this contract, and I look forward to receiving your completed questionnaire. I anticipate that it will take approximately 2 – 3 weeks to evaluate expressions from the closing date for submitting your completed form.
Yours faithfully,
Richard Spear
