5. Hi Team Grateful if you could confirm if ISO 9001 will be accepted as a suitable equivalent for Quality Management System certification for Aerospace AS9100. Thank you
No, ISO 9001 is not considered a suitable equivalent to AS9100. AS9100 is a quality management standard specifically developed for the Aerospace and Defence industry. While it is based on ISO 9001, AS9100 incorporates additional requirements tailored to address the unique risks and needs of the Aerospace and Defence sector.

3. Hello Are the supplier capability clearances, vettings and accreditations listed in questions 1.25.2 to 1.26.7 mandatory for all suppliers? We are a professional services firm interested in one or two of the parts relating to consultancy and so will not be operating any sites. If we tick 'no and not willing' will we be excluded from participating in the DM? Thank you
Buyers may specify capabilities as conditions of participation within their competitive flexible procedure and applicants are advised to respond to the supplier capability questions in the Dynamic Market Questionnaire (DMQ). Responses to questions 1.25.1 to 1.25.11 will not prevent an applicant from being appointed to the Dynamic Market. Please refer to Attachment 1 (RM6370 - Space Technology Solutions - Specification), available in the Dynamic Market Information Pack.
