If placing “qualifications” first, a hyphen is required: qualifications-based competition. See “ Hyphen in a Compound Expression With a Noun and Past Participle” on this page: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/hyphen/

Example sentence(s):
  • * Such a requirement contravenes the very concept of a competition on the basis of qualifications, transforming it into a competition on the basis of tests...
  • * Mr Morina was one of the applicants for the internal competition on the basis of qualifications...
