Clarifications
There are 31 clarifications for this DPS
15. We have a query in relation to the questions 166-172, 176, 179-185 in the SQ Evidence document which are not relevant. The SQ Evidence section is asking for uploads to questions which have been identified as not required and we are unable to proceed this point. We are conscious of the deadline for this and would be really grateful if you could please advise how to proceed with this.
The Supplier Evidence Submission stage of the Standard Selection Questionnaire (Q166 - 185) is completed if a Buyer has requested evidence from a supplier. It is not part of the initial application so does not need completing. Alternatively, please contact support@nqc.com if the issue is technical.
For clarity regarding the deadline, the agreement will be live for buyers to use from 10/02/23. However, suppliers can continue to onboard to this DPS for the duration of the agreement which is currently four years.

12. With regards to the Person of Significant Control, our immediate parent company is our PSC. As such there is no date of birth for the organisation. Please advise how to respond to the date of birth as it is a required field and requires an entry. Thanks
This question requires the details of a person not an organisation.

5. Within the Financial Viability section we are requested to upload 3 years of company accounts, however, there appears to be a file size limit of 4.77mb.
Our accounts exceed this limit and the system is therefore preventing us from proceeding beyond this point.
Can you please therefore advise how we can upload our accounts.
Thank you
Please compress the file and upload it in .zip format.

3. Reference - attachment 1, tab "Filter 1 services". Are suppliers able to pick which services in column B under each filter that they can bid for e.g. can you bid to supply only 2 services listed under "Miscellaneous FM Services" or, to bid for that filter would you need to provide all services listed in column B?
Suppliers are able to pick the services they can deliver. This can be a single service, more than one service or all services.

1. Afternoon,
We are a specialist fire extinguisher and fire door inspection company and cannot provide all of Work Package 'Maintenance Services'. Can you please clarify if you must submit a bid for the entire package?
Can you please confirm this would be the correct category for the service we provide?
Thank you in advance.
Suppliers do not need to offer all the services listed under Maintenance Services. Fire services are referenced in Maintenance Services and Statutory Obligations / Compliance Services with further information available in RM6264 Schedule 1 - Specification.
