When Achilles recieved the questionnair, the prepayment and the documents we handle your application. All information will be validated to meet the set qualification criteria of TransQ. You will be contacted if any amendments are recommended to improve the quality of your information or if any information is lacking.

The verification lasts approximately 2 – 3 weeks but it can vary depending in how much information the application contains, how much work we have and how fast we receive a complete application. All information, data and documents that belongs to your registration with TransQ remains with Achilles and is treated confidentially. As soon as the verification is done you will be sent a message of the results and certificate confirming your successful pre-qualification.

Step 4: Information is available and select

As soon as your organization is qualified, all purchasers at the subscribing utilities can access your information. All information will be available through a web based search program, which enables regularly and close updates. The buyers and purchasers will make selections based on your stated information. A list will be created summarizing suppliers who will receive an inquiry data.

If the participating utilities comply with EU directives concerning public procurement in the utility sectors the criteria have to be objective and non-discriminating. If they use TransQ the selection can be done without previous announcement according to the regulations.

Qualified suppliers can at any time during the qualification period update their information. The contact information may be updated without any charge at any time and the qualification payment includes one free update during the qualification period.
