What does SSQ mean in Academic & Science?

Standard Selection Questionnaire

This is part of a formal procurement process for public contracts in the UK, and its correct completion is central to passing through to the tender evaluation stage. It's the buyer’s way of finding out basic compliance/due diligence type details from the companies looking to provide the services or products out to tender. It includes a request for basic company information, self-certification that a company complies with the selection criteria (such as required levels of insurance) and a request for other information relevant to the service or product being procured. Companies that successfully pass through this stage are then invited to put in a full tender bid.
