Supplier Prequalification (PQQ)

A pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) gathers standard information — company registration, financials, insurance, certifications, references and relevant experience — so a buyer can shortlist credible suppliers before inviting detailed bids. It keeps later stages efficient by ensuring only capable suppliers receive the RFQ or RFP.

Prequalification is common in construction, engineering and public-sector work where the field of interested suppliers can be large. In Malaysia it frequently checks CIDB registration for construction or MOF registration for government-linked work, alongside financial capacity and health-and-safety records.
