Only those questions set out in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire will be evaluated at this stage. Only those tender submissions that are successful and score equal to, or higher than the minimum participating conditions threshold of the Conditions of Participation Stage will proceed to be fully assessed Tender at Tender Award Stage. If your tender submission passes the minimum participating conditions, the Tender Award Stage Quality questions will be evaluated together with the Price submission (Appendix 2).
