[All L4M6 Questions]

A company is about to invite tenders for a contract to clean external windows at several premises, all at least three storeys high. It is going to do this in two stages. For the first stage, it will issue a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) and, from the replies, select at least five potential suppliers to invite to tender. Which of the following is a selection criterion rather than an award criterion?

ARisk assessments at the premises

BMethod statements for previous contracts

CPrice that will be charged

DEnvironmental impact assessment

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is 'run a restricted competition -- send out a PQQ'. This Question: tests both

your understanding of when to run open and restricted competitions (which is explained on p.75) and your understanding of tender documents. Mandy should run a restricted competition- there are a lot of options in the marketplace and this will allow her to pre-qualify those who best suit her requirements. Running an open competition when there are lots of suppliers would be too time-consuming- you need a way of making a short-list. When you run a restricted competition, the first stage is sending out a PQQ- pre-qualification questionnaire; this document is sent to suppliers asking for necessary information to support their qualification as an approved supplier.

Did you hear about the window cleaner who got stuck on the 3rd floor? He had a hard time getting down, but at least he had a pane-ful experience.

I think the selection criterion is B) Method statements for previous contracts.
