Clarifications

22. Good Morning, We have been asked to provide evidence to support the self declarations made in our SQ for CCS. Please can you advise how I return this information to yourselves. Many thanks

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

9. Regarding interim to permanent transfer fee. What is the agency able to charge the buyer? This would be for a band 7 post. And would the length of interim work change this at all?

8. Can you please advise on the purchasing value limits that apply to customers wishing to use the LVPS? I followed this link but am unsure where the Installation Services Lot that we are approved for under the LVPS sits. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/850566/PPN_for_New_Thresholds_2020_pdf.pdf Many thanks.

7. Is there a subcategory for printing (eg banners / floor stickers / safety screens etc). Thank you

6. Hello We are previously registered in Covid 19 Supplier 20200501-132430-545660 We did not have any contracts but one NHS used the above reference when we supplied them successfully with webcams (I reported this to you) I Received your notification of low value supplies and I have couple of questions I would like to print off the questionnaire about our company so that our FD can check it but can't see where to print. I have completed all the product categories that we offer but on going back into my dashboard can see them I'm not sure what I should be doing with the below part regarding Locations/Products and Contracts. I'm not sure what I should be searching for? Reference for our application is SQ-K9FV72H/1

5. Under Office solutions this is noted as coming soon, when is this expected to be live? thanks

4. Dear Mr Morrow, I hope this message finds you well. Many thanks for your email. My name is Carina Balbo, Managing Director of My Language Hub, a language service provider based in Hertfordshire. We specialise in the Legal, Medical and Pharmaceutical sectors and we work both in the private and public sectors. On the CCS catalogue, last year, we listed our language-related services, especially Translation and Localisation services. However, I cannot see which sector would be the most appropriate for us to advertise our services. Could you please advise? Kind regards, Carina

3. Good afternoon, We note that construction services have not been included in you Service Headings Description list. Could you advise if this LVPS will be used to procure these services. Many thanks

2. We were previously on the COVID-19 emergency response catalogue as suppliers of digital classroom solutions to ensure continuance of learning via remote learning. What category do you recommend that we enter or can you open a new "Information Technology" or "Software" category for software solutions which fall under the 'Low Value' contracts margins.

1. Hello, Regarding the LVPS DPS, would it be correct to assert there is no appropriate category for telecommunications services within the stated categories? Thanks Dean
