Tenders-any advice please
«

I am a sole trader and recently filled out a pQQ Questionaire but didn't score high enough to qualify for the tender process. Is this because being a sole trader goes againts you?? I did find that alot of the questions seemed to be aimed at corporate businesses and were difficult to answer or not applicable,so would just answer N/A. For example how do you treat your staff at work??? Sole trader-you have no staff/employees. Any ideas on how i can improve my next PQQ??
Thanks

God we are only talking about maybe a 600-700 per year contract. I obviously earn far more than that. So doesn't make sense. I just get the feeling that being a sole trader went againts me and a bigger company would have stood a far better chance.
