21. Clarification relating to: Leasing and Loan Finance DPS. Our Public Liability insurance provides cover against pretty much any claim for loss experienced by any third party as a direct result of our conducting our undertaking. Certain classes of risk are excluded from this cover, the most prevalent being road risk which is separately covered by road risk (motor) insurance. Professional Indemnity insurance covers risk associated with the provision of professional services (For example, the sale of advice and the work conducted by professional people/firms - Solicitors, Accountants, etc). The buyer in these circumstances is reliant on the expertise of the 'professional' concerned in the purchase of these services insofar as it would involve the buyer qualifying in the delivery of these services themselves in order to exercise informed judgement. Our operations for this contract do not involve any risk which would fall outside the scope of our Public Liability cover (road risk excepted). Therefore, please would you review the need for Professional Indemnity insurance for this contract and advise if it can be removed? If not, please would you advise what risk(s) specifically you are looking for cover against on this contract?

20. I am going through the questionnaire and have reached Q.24 regarding Person of significant control - Does this have to be a share holder or can is be a Managing Director for example with no ownership status?

19. Hi I am starting to fill in our application for the research and Insights DPS and wondered if it is possible to access my questionnaire for the earlier Research and marketing DPS, as much of the process information will be the same. Thanks Nick

18. I am progressing through the online SQ. If a section does not apply to ourselves, i.e. Steel, do we leave the section blank or input N/A? Also I have selected yes to a couple of questions instead of no, but can't seem to be able to amend this. Please could you advise how? Many thanks

17. Good Morning, Re the RM6242 - Construction Professional Services Dynamic Purchasing System Agreement we are completing. The section on contract examples, re contract start and finish dates. On previous DPS' we have been able to enter text i.e. 'as Select list 1990-2008 Framework 2008-current'. The examples we are using are ongoing frameworks. The online DPS will only allow for entering an exact date though so I'm not sure how to address this? Thanks

16. Management Levy At which precise point in time is this charged, how is it invoiced and what is the process?

10. Hello We are interseted in securing a place on RM6124 within the recruitment advertising category but do not yet have a Cyber Essentials certificate in place and note that means we would not pass the SQ stage. We are keen to progress and gain that accreditation and feel we can offer strong example contracts but as an SME need time to put that in place. Can you confirm the timescales for securing a place or advise if we should progress the SQ on the understanding we would need the certificate in place at a particular date. Thank you for your help. Andy
