23. Copyright © Tendering for Contracts Training Ltd 1997 - 2009 In response to the market, all public sector agencies and the large private sector firms has developed a standard form of prequalification (PQQ) to enable their buying or procurement department to provide their generic prequalification details centrally and avoid the need for multiple pre-qualifications. This form should be completed and certified as being accurate by one of the company's directors. The completion of this form does not commit the authority / agency / firm in any way nor is it intended to circumvent any legal requirements required under EC Procurement Directives or Competition rules. The authority / agency /firm is at liberty to confirm any details entered on to the form and may request an audit of the detail giving reasonable notice. The form only requests generic company information and project specific pre-qualification detail may be requested separately at the appropriate time. It is anticipated that for certain tender exercises a director of the company may be required to confirm the accuracy of the information at the given time. The completed document may be provided either in hard copy or electronic format. All requests for clarification or further information in respect of a PQQ should be addressed to the named contact point. No approach of any kind in connection with a PQQ should be made to any other person within, or associated with the authority / agency / firm . General Guidance Notes:
