The standardised Pre-Qualification Questionnaire – Publicly Available Specification (PAS 91)

Article
Currently businesses may have to answer a different set of questions every time they bid for new government contracts.  Now a standard Pre-Qualification Questionnaire is available to streamline this process and save both time and money for construction firms.  The Publicly Available Specification (PAS 91) has been developed by the British Standards Institution in partnership with the Department for Business.  It sets out the nature, content and format of a set of questions relating to the core criteria essential to construction tendering – general supplier information, financial information, business and professional standing and Health and Safety.  In addition, it sets out a standard set of questions for topics that buyers are frequently interested in – equal opportunities, environmental management and quality management.  Download PAS 91 from www.bis.gov.uk/policies/business-sectors/construction/specification
