Details can be found in the PSQ.

Prospective contractors are required to hold Quality Management System certification to ISO 9001:2015 or suitable alternative, with the appropriate scope to deliver contract requirements, issued by a Nationally Accredited Certification Body. You will be required to provide a copy of the certificate(s) as directed by any Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) or Invitation to Tender (ITT) associated with this Notice, and in any event, the winning supplier will be required to provide it for review prior to contract award. The contractual condition for quality will be Allied Quality Assurance Publication (AQAP) 2110.

Selection Criteria in the PSQ: PART 1 - Potential Providers must achieve a “pass” for all questions. Where a “Fail” is scored, the provider will not be taken forward to Part 2 of the evaluation. PART 2 - Potential providers must score a combined minimum of 170 for the 3 (three) weighted questions, and achieve a Pass for all other questions. If a potential provider achieves a score of “0- Unacceptable” against any of the 3 (three) weighted questions, this will result in the respondent being excluded from tendering for this requirement. The potential providers who have met the minimum pass criteria, will then be ranked (highest to lowest) on their combined score achieved against the 3 (three) weighted questions in Part 2. The Authority will take the highest ranking potential providers through to the ITT stage up to a maximum of 6 (six) Potential Providers. In a case of a tied ranking which identifies more than 6 (six) potential providers, the Authority will take forward the potential providers who have achieved the highest score for the weighted question (PSQ_2.3.1) If this still results in more than 6 (six) potential providers, the Authority reserves the right to increase the maximum number of potential providers to take through to the invitation to tender stage.
