Some experiences of trying to tender for Government business
Submitted by huw williams on Thu, 2006-11-23 11:46. Procurement issues | PQQ | process | procurement | tendersWe have been responding to a number of tender opportunities in the area of web design and development, and have found the whole process extremely frustrating.
First, we have completed Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs) for about a dozen opportunities. Although similar in some ways these are sufficiently different to take quite a while to complete. And mainly they are asking bureaucratic questions which have little or no relevance on our ability to do the work. Very few are online, and many require hard-copy submission.
