Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates: DSCOM may issue a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) to those suppliers that express an interest by 28.5.2012. It is the Authority’s intention to issue the PQQ shortly after the closing date for expressions of interest. The PQQ must be completed and returned to DSCOM by the date stated in the document. Only those suppliers that can demonstrate sufficient level of competence against the Authority’s pre-qualification criteria will be considered for inclusion in the Invitation to Tender (this will be a maximum of 6 (six)). Full details of the evaluation criteria will be supplied in the PQQ document.
