  • 🔊 Big news in the procurement world! 🔊 The familiar Standard Supplier Questionnaire (SSQ) is being phased out and replaced by the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). Here’s what you need to know: ✅ Familiar Content: The PSQ covers much of the same ground as the SSQ, but with a few key updates. ✅ Associated Persons & Disbarment: A stronger emphasis is placed on bidders ensuring their subcontractors and partners are not on the Disbarment List. Once the Central Digital Platform is live, the list will be easily accessible for checks. ✅ Flexibility for Buyers: While the PSQ is a recommended tool, it's not mandatory. Buyers can use alternative methods to assess suppliers' legal, financial, and technical capacity—as long as the process is outlined in their notice. Let’s stay ahead of the curve! This change may evolve over time, so we’ll continue to monitor and provide updates as they arise. If you have any questions or need support with PSQ-related requirements, don’t hesitate to reach out! 🚀 hello@thorntonandlowe.com / 01204 238 046 #Procurement #PSQ #PublicSector #Tendering #ThorntonAndLowe
