Common ESPD Queries:

Q - In relation to the question re 'Procurement reserved' - how should this be answered?

A - It is expected that this is normally answered 'No' unless your business is a sheltered workshop, a 'social business' etc.   To be clear however, it is not a requirement of this tender that any of the foregoing is required.

Q – In relation to the question ‘EO registered’ - how should this be answered?

A – If you are registered on a list of approved economic operators etc, you may indicate this by selecting ‘Yes’, however it is not a requirement of this tender that you need to be so registered.

These instructions are a guideline only and it remains entirely your responsibility to ensure the process is correctly followed.
