Suitability Assessment Questionnaires

The suitability assessment procedure involves inviting applicants to submit information 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.

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 the list below
