A pre-qualification questionnaire (or PQQ, occasionally referred to as a supply chain questionnaire) provides a structured set of inquiries to potential takers about their level of expertise, potential business capacity and monetary status. The aim of the questionnaire is to discover whether you would be able to supply goods and/or services to satisfy the customer's needs and requirements. The supplier must respond with a yes / no answer in order to be considered for inclusion in the production or procurement process of a particular company. This type of pre-qualification questionnaire is used to determine whether a company has the requisite expertise to undertake a particular assignment.

In the construction industry, there are many different opportunities for filling in pre-qualification questionnaires. In addition to filling in the questionnaire for tender purposes, they are also frequently required by project managers before tendering begins. Frequently, project managers will ask potential candidates to complete a questionnaire in relation to their previous work experience. This is to identify those who have the right knowledge base and experience of the construction industry. The role of these questions is to assist the project manager in identifying those candidates most suitable to join their team. Not only are they an important part of the tender process, but they are also crucial to the successful completion of tenders.

As well as filling in a Pre-qualification Questionnaire for tender purposes, they are frequently required during the procurement stage. During the procurement process, suppliers and manufacturers will submit proposals for tenders on which jobs need to be purchased. A good quality Pre-qualification Questionnaire enables project managers to identify and assess the level of skills and experience required for each job, enabling them to choose the best candidate for the job. One of the key benefits of a Pre Qualification Questionnaire is that it enables job seekers to get feedback prior to submitting their application to a prospective employer, allowing them to make any necessary adjustments to their application. Furthermore, it is an important tool in the selection of quality candidates in project management, and is often used to select candidates at the recruitment stage of the project. When it comes to obtaining information regarding employment, a quality Pre-qualification Questionnaire can help identify the suitable candidates from those who do not meet the specified employment requirement.
