This Procurement Policy Note updates the Selection Questionnaire (SQ) and accompanying statutory guidance.
It applies to all contracting authorities and must be implemented by 27 June 2024 (although can be implemented now). The following questions in the standard SQ have been updated, so authorities will need to ensure they are using the latest version where relevant to the procurement:
- updated payment related questions;
- updated steel related questions;
- clarity for contracting authorities on considering bids from Russian/Belarusian suppliers *as set out in Procurement Policy Note 01/22); and
- removal of references to PAS91 which has now been withdrawn by the BSI.
