Further Competition
Welcome to the further competition area of the Catalist website. Here customers are able to conduct further competitions electronically using the Invitation to Quote (ITQ) system.
We have recently added an optional Capability Assessment (CA) tool that allows customers to assess the capability of the suppliers within a framework before running an ITQ. The tool works in a similar way to the ITQ system and allows suppliers to deselect themselves from the competition process by indicating whether they are 'capable' or 'not capable' of meeting your requirement. By determining the capability of the suppliers in a framework category before going to further competition, you can ensure that only the suppliers capable of meeting the requirement are invited to bid. This saves time for both the customer and the supplier.
Customers wishing to use the Invitation to Quote and Capability Assessment tools must first log into the website. If you do not have a login please register via the online registration form.
