II.3) DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKS, SERVICES OR GOODS TO BE PROCURED THROUGH
THE QUALIFICATION SYSTEM: Fourteen major Scandinavian transport utilities
covering Postal services and railway infrastructure as well as general
transportation activities with associated services uses, Transport
Utilities Qualification System. TransQ is a joint supplier qualification
system with the purpose to cover a large number of product and service
categories. TransQ has been established as an industry based scheme to
create opportunities for improving efficiency and reducing costs
throughout the supply chain for utilities in Scandinavia. TransQ provides
a register of suppliers and contractors to the participating utilities who
may use the scheme either as the basis for tenderer selection or together
with additional qualification criteria established by the transport
utilities in specific product or service areas for contracts subject to EU
rules. TransQ holds information on suppliers of works, services and
supplies to the Scandinavian transport utility industry, and is run and
managed on behalf of the subscribing transport utilities by Achillevs
Information AB. The purpose of TransQ is to reduce costs and
administrative workload to both purchasers and vendors, and to ensure that
all vendors' applications are dealt with fairly and consistently by the
subscribing transport utilities. The qualification process may consist of
several stages where the initial qualification stage (Stage 1) is common
for all subscribing transport utilities, while more qualification stages
may be added by the individual utilities if more information is considered
necessary to establish relevant bidder lists. If a subscribing utility
would consider that the information available after the initial
qualification stage is inadequate to establish a bidder list, a request
for additional information will be sent to qualified suppliers (Stage 2).
An updated list of covered list is available at www.achilles.com\transq.
Reference in TED: 2005/S 121-119842 The subscribing transport utility
organisations will use the scheme for all requirements subject to EC
procurement rules but reserve the right to place individual notices for
specific requirements where they deem it necessary. The qualification
scheme may be used for contracts not subject to EC rules at each
subscriber’s discretion. TransQ may be used by subscribing utilities for
sourcing goods and services relating to facilities or operations outwit
the European Economic Area (EEA).It is the intention of the subscribing
utilities to allow other Scandinavian utilities to join as users of the
TransQ qualification scheme. Upon new companies joining separate Official
Journal/TED notices will be published. Since January 2007 the
Participating transport Utilities has made it possible for Main
Contractors to participate in TransQ, under special conditions, for
procurement purposes.
