The suitability assessment procedure involves inviting applicants to submit information (and their named specialists where so requested by the Employer) in response to a customised standard questionnaire. The Employer uses the information in the responses to determine which applicants (under a restricted procedure) or which tenderers (under an open procedure) meet the suitability standards and which do not. The standard approach to suitability assessment is intended to ensure only those service providers or works contractors that qualify against certain objective and transparent, non-discriminatory, proportionate and fair criteria progress to the next stage of the procurement procedure for publicly funded projects.
The Capital Works Management Framework includes a number of suitability assessment questionnaires that are used in different circumstances, as outlined in table below:
