6. I'm in the process of filling out the selection questionnaire for the DPS RM6313. I have entered our DUNS number and our registered address, which has recently changed. On the DUNS website, it looks like our old address is still the one attached to our DUNS number. Will this cause issues in getting on to the DPS; do we need to make sure the DUNS number has our new registered address associated with it before submitting the questionnaires, or can this be amended later? Thank you.
Within the questionnaire a Supplier is able to input their Companies House address. If the registered address is different to the Companies House address it will not prevent registration onto the DPS, however CCS may ask for clarification why the address details differ

4. Hello, Should Q100 and Q101 have a "N/A" option? We don't operate anywhere outside the UK but both of these require at least one area to be selected?
We are working with NQC to have this implemented as an option within the international filter
