Successful applicants will form part of the Qualification Panel. Being on the Qualification Panel does not give the supplier any guarantee of work but may enable the supplier to tender for framework agreements, and contracts for individual projects, to be set up through the Qualification Panel from time to time. When a competition for a particular framework agreement or contract from the Qualification Panel is required, registered applicants may be taken through a further pre-qualification process to determine those to be invited to tender or negotiate. Turnover will be used to determine which Panel member(s) will be invited to tender based on the overall value of the framework agreement or contract. When determining which companies will be invited to tender, only those with a turnover of twice the annual value of the contract will be invited. Applicants who have been deemed suitably qualified may be invited to submit a formal tender for the requirements that arise during the Qualification Panel term. This Notice does not prevent the Contracting Authority from issuing other contract notices for specific requirements from time to time, including procurements outside the Qualification Panel for requirements falling within the scope of the Qualification Panel.
