Only those who have ref\u00ader\u00adences have the nec\u00ades\u00adsary expe\u00adri\u00adence. This is one of the beliefs par excel\u00adlence in pub\u00adlic pro\u00adcure\u00adment. It is by no means always true, but it is quite often. So you bet\u00adter not vio\u00adlate it! <\/p>\n

The fol\u00adlow\u00ading applies to nation\u00adal and EU-wide awards: As a rule, the con\u00adtract\u00ading author\u00adi\u00adty may require you to pro\u00advide evi\u00addence of ref\u00ader\u00adence ser\u00advices from the last up to five years. Some\u00adtimes it may be based on a longer peri\u00adod. These ref\u00ader\u00adence ser\u00advices must be com\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adble to the ten\u00addered ser\u00advice. Whether or not this is the case is some\u00adthing the client usu\u00adal\u00adly only deals with once your offer has been short\u00adlist\u00aded. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A com\u00admon point of con\u00adtention is com\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty. Some clients (and plan\u00adners) han\u00addle this cri\u00adte\u00adri\u00adon some\u00adwhat more strict\u00adly, oth\u00aders some\u00adwhat more lax\u00adly. Some\u00adtimes there are spec\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions in the con\u00adtract notice or else\u00adwhere as to exact\u00adly what the ref\u00ader\u00adence ser\u00advice must be. Some\u00adtimes the client is silent, but then comes to the con\u00adclu\u00adsion in the eval\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion that only ser\u00advices should be com\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adble where the ham\u00admer fell from the bench at the back left dur\u00ading the lunch break at the same time as planned in the ten\u00addered con\u00adtract. A neg\u00ada\u00adtive sur\u00adprise for some bid\u00adders. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some bid\u00adders have done every\u00adthing x times and are suit\u00adable in every respect. How\u00adev\u00ader, even these bid\u00adders occa\u00adsion\u00adal\u00adly make avoid\u00adable mis\u00adtakes: they sub\u00admit ref\u00ader\u00adences that \u201cdon\u2019t fit.\u201d Or, they may des\u00adig\u00adnate their PQ num\u00adber, but not ensure that the PQ direc\u00adto\u00adry also knows about the many com\u00adplex jobs they have com\u00adplet\u00aded in pre\u00advi\u00adous years. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oth\u00ader bid\u00adders sus\u00adpect from the out\u00adset that things could get tight. Maybe they haven\u2019t been on the mar\u00adket that long. Per\u00adhaps they only have expe\u00adri\u00adence with a sin\u00adgle design so far \u2014 but not with the design (pos\u00adsi\u00adbly) required in the ten\u00adder. <\/p>\n

If you belong to the for\u00admer group, first ques\u00adtion your own assump\u00adtion. Have you real\u00adly done it all x num\u00adber of times, and essen\u00adtial\u00adly as adver\u00adtised? If you can still say \u201cyes\u201d in good con\u00adscience, but still don\u2019t know exact\u00adly which project(s) from this col\u00ador\u00adful vari\u00adety you should ulti\u00admate\u00adly name, then you could \u2014 in a time\u00adly man\u00adner \u2014 ask an intel\u00adli\u00adgent, cor\u00adrect\u00adly word\u00aded bid ques\u00adtion. Also, you could check \u2014 in time \u2014 what you have report\u00aded to the PQ direc\u00adto\u00adry and what you have not. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you belong to the sec\u00adond group, you need to think very care\u00adful\u00adly about whether you ask any\u00adthing at all. Some\u00adtimes it is bet\u00adter to remain silent. Here \u2014 among oth\u00ader things \u2014 what the client real\u00adly expects plays a role. To give an exam\u00adple: Has it defined min\u00adi\u00admum require\u00adments for com\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty? Explic\u00adit\u00adly or pos\u00adsi\u00adbly only con\u00adclu\u00adsive\u00adly? <\/p>\n
