Apr 30, 2018 at 15:30 comment added Iosif Pinelis I have also added a lower bound on $c$.

Apr 24, 2018 at 13:07 comment added Iosif Pinelis I have now also provided an explicit expression for $c$ in terms of $\varepsilon$.

Apr 24, 2018 at 8:43 comment added Arnold Neumaier Can you extract from the proof how $c$ depends on $\varepsilon$?

Apr 24, 2018 at 3:26 comment added Iosif Pinelis This answer is based on ideas different from the ones used in my previous answer. Here I co-opted the idea to use the Berry--Esseen inequality, suggested by Ron P. However, for the answer to be complete (as it now is), we needed to consider separately the cases depending on whether $\max_i|q_i|$ is relatively large or not. The result thus obtained is actually stronger than the one requested by the OP.
