Procurement for GPSoC We are currently progressing a new GPSoC framework to replace the existing arrangements and the procurement is now underway. GPSoC Pre-Qualification Questionnaire and Invitation to Participate in Dialogue The GPSoC OJEU Notice published on 24 May 2013 indicated that all potential bidders against three lots should complete and submit pre- qualification questionnaires (PQQs). PQQs provide information on the potential bidders and encompass key areas such as their legal standing, financial capacity and technical capacity and capability. 57 PQQs received for lot 1 (GP clinical IT systems and modules), 64 for lot 2 (additional GP services) and 52 for lot 3 (cross care setting interoperable systems). Following detailed review of the PQQs a number of suppliers received an Invitation to Participate in Dialogue (ITPD). This stage of the procurement involves dialogue with the bidders in order to develop the final scope of the GPSoC contract before bidders are then asked to submit final proposals for evaluation. This dialogue takes place via a cycle of meetings covering key issues with each supplier.
