Firms in the DH supplier lists may receive quotation invitation or tender notification issued by DH for the supply of relevant category(ies) of goods or services as and when opportunities arise.  Firms which receive quotation invitation or tender notification from DH do not be guaranteed that they will be awarded with the contracts or their past contract performance is satisfactory.  The suitability of awarding a contract to a firm will be assessed on a case-by-case basis according to the terms of the quotation or tender.
