The Contracting Authority views that the range of services to be procured during this tender should be awarded as a multiple supplier DPS and seeks applications from suitably experienced suppliers who wish to pre-qualify for this service. Whilst every effort has been made to consider the full scope of the requirement, the Contracting Authority does not guarantee the volume of the services required resulting from this DPS or that it will accept any pre-qualification on completion of the procurement exercise.
If a supplier ceases to meet the original exclusion or selection criteria during the course of the DPS it is likely that it may be excluded. Therefore the Supplier will be asked to re-confirm that they still meet the criteria of the PQQ and that there have been no material changes.
Suppliers may apply to join the DPS at any-time after the initial DPS set up (2.8.2016 onwards) even if they have been unsuccessful at the initial DPS set-up.
