The Commercial Questionnaire is made up of two Response tabs. Response Tab 1 is not to be amended by any bidder.

Where a supplier may wish to make additions or assumptions this must be completed on Response Tab 2 only. All Tenderers are required to complete the Commercial Questionnaire in full. A Tender containing a Commercial Questionnaire that is not completed in full shall be a non-compliant Tender and any such Tender shall be disregarded and excluded from further assessment. No Tenderer is permitted to amend the format of the Commercial Questionnaire in any way. If a Tenderer amends the format of the Commercial Questionnaire (which for the avoidance of doubt includes but is not limited to any amendment, addition, or deletion other than the input of the data requested) then their Tender shall be disregarded and excluded from further assessment. If a Tenderer has any queries regarding the content, completion and / or submission of the Commercial Questionnaire, these must be submitted as clarification questions in accordance with paragraph 3.4 of this Document 1. Prices included in any Tender must not be subject to any pricing qualifications or indexation not provided for explicitly by the Contracting Authority in the Commercial Questionnaire, or in the Specification or in the Contract.
