Question:
Are we providing one version of each product or may we be asked to provide a different design for different orders?

Answered on 03/Nov/2025 03:51 PM:


One version of each product. We are trying to have all regions consistent with their product, however, if specifications vary, separate quotations can be obtained from supplier for different design.

Question:
Are you just sourcing indicative pricing to be used in a SOA, then the end user will request a quote once appointed the the SOA/Panel?

Answered on 05/Nov/2025 10:20 AM:


Good morning Jonathan,

Yes the purpose of the basket of goods is for evaluation / comparison. A Contract will be entered into with the successful supplier, with the pricing listed in the basket of goods annexed to the Contract. Regions have the option to Request a Quote with the successful supplier at the time of need, however it is an expectation that the quoted prices will reflect those that are listed in the contract (subject to any change in specifications / quantities of course).

Question:
In regards to the statutory declaration from the accountant.

What exactly do you need -is it that the business can pay its debts as and when they fall due and that the business is trading profitably and is in a strong financial position?

Answered on 10/Nov/2025 01:12 PM:


Hi Jenny, yes, the statutory declaration can be a letter from your Accountant confirming the business has the financial capacity to meet the obligations under the potential contract. Further information can be obtained from the Accountant once responses have been evaluated and shortlisted.
