CPQ Responses that do not satisfy the above may be rejected at this stage. Stage 2 - Evaluation of CPQ Responses CPQ Responses that successfully pass Stage 1 will be subject to an assessment in accordance with the conditions of participation set out in Annex 1. The CPQ is made up of a number of Questions which are either: For Information Only; or Pass/Fail; or Scored. Each Question is categorised in Annex 1 and guidance on the requirements which the Client is seeking and evaluating CPQ Responses against is also provided (where relevant). During Stage 2, the Client reserves the right to call for further information or clarification from Participants, as appropriate, to assist in its consideration of the CPQ Responses. As set out in the main instructions to this CPQ, Participants must respond to any request for clarification within the timescales set out in the request for clarification. Where no response is provided within the required timescales, the Client shall evaluate the CPQ Response in accordance with the information originally provided in the CPQ Response. Where a Participant receives a \"Fail\" score for any of the Pass / Fail questions they will be rejected from the Procurement and their SQ Response will not be considered any further."
