1. CDP registration
Is your company registered on the Central Digital Platform (CDP)?
Why this matters: Register on the Cabinet Office Central Digital Platform before bidding. Buyers cannot evaluate your submission under the new rules without a CDP profile.
2. CDP registration
Have you uploaded your core supplier information to CDP (registered name, address, registration number, ownership details)?
Why this matters: Populate every required CDP field so buyers can read your supplier record in a single click.
3. CDP registration
Have you submitted the standard CDP financial information (turnover, accounts, audited figures where required)?
Why this matters: Upload the last two years of accounts and your declared turnover.
4. Exclusion grounds
Do you maintain a documented register of mandatory exclusion grounds against your company, directors, and connected persons?
Why this matters: Keep a dated register covering convictions, tax offences, and modern slavery findings.
5. Exclusion grounds
Do you screen your directors and connected persons against the published debarment list quarterly?
Why this matters: Schedule a quarterly check against the Procurement Review Unit debarment register.
6. Exclusion grounds
Do you hold evidence to rebut any discretionary exclusion grounds (poor past performance, professional misconduct)?
Why this matters: Maintain a self-cleaning evidence pack covering each potential issue.
7. Conditions of participation
Can you evidence the minimum financial standing thresholds (turnover ratio, current ratio, insurance levels) for the contracts you target?
Why this matters: Pull the latest accounts and confirm turnover is at least twice the contract value.
8. Conditions of participation
Do you hold the technical and professional ability evidence (case studies, references, accreditations) for the contracts you target?
Why this matters: Build a reference bank with three recent comparable contracts and any sector-specific accreditations.
9. Conditions of participation
Are your quality management, environmental, and information security certifications current (for example ISO 9001, ISO 14001, Cyber Essentials)?
Why this matters: Refresh certificates that expire within six months. Lapsed accreditation is a hard fail.
10. Conditions of participation
Do you have a documented social value response template covering the standard Procurement Policy Note 06/20 themes?
Why this matters: Draft a reusable social value pack covering jobs, skills, environmental and community themes.
