During the evaluation process, individual bidders鈥� responses to the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) were assessed to establish their capability and capacity, which included quality assurance, technical, environmental management, health and safety, financial standing and equal opportunity and diversity criteria.
John Jones, the frameworks project manager, said: 鈥淥n this occasion we ran both competitions concurrently and received a total of 46 valid submissions as part of the PQQ process. The competition was strong and the bidders faced a rigorous evaluation process to be able to go forward to the tender stage.

We positively encourage smaller suppliers and subcontractors to approach shortlisted bidders about their products and services by accessing the bidders鈥� directory online.鈥�
