Following an Applicant or Approved Supplier submitting their application to the Purchaser via the SQS process all of the completed information detailed in the application will be made available in a varying format to the Purchasers authorised representatives.

These representatives decide what companies will achieve SQS Approved Supplier Status as part of the pre-qualification process.

Once a company becomes an Approved Supplier under the process the Purchaser can review this data and rate or rerate a company based on their performance under contract.
