In order to award a contract to your organisation under the Low Value Purchase System DPS, the buyer will need to assess your organisation's suitability, capability, legal status and financial standing. The Suitability Assessment Questionnaire aims to make the procurement process more efficient for you and for the buyer by dividing the process of a buyer gathering the necessary information for the assessment of minimum standards into two parts: 1.These suitability assessment questions ask for basic information about your legal status and the non-medical goods and or services you are able to supply that any public sector buyer would require before purchasing those non-medical goods and or services. That means that you should only need to answer these questions once and buyers can get that information in one place. It also asks for a criminal records declaration which buyers may wish to be repeated at the time you enter into a contract with them. 2.These suitability assessment questions do not request information on your capability to provide the non-medical goods and or services, your financial standing or the details and suitability of any subcontractors which you intend to use to provide the non-medical goods and or services. These elements of your suitability, and that of any subcontractors, will be checked by buyers when deciding whether to award a contract to you.
