Objective Criteria
Too many public bodies are still wide open to challenges about how they prequalify candidates. Many PQQs are still highly subjective and open to interpretation by on or more evaluator. This can lead to inconsistent and unreliable scoring which is the main issues for most bidders and is the single biggest factor in destroying trust in the process or in a contracting authority's reputation.
Prequalification (PQQ)
Prequalification is the most contentious aspect of many tender processes. Contracting Authorities are obliged to test the capability and capacity of interested parties. This must be tested objectively to ensure that fairness and equality of treatment is applied to each request and submitted PQQ.
