Evidence covers a range of sciences including economics, social research, operational research, statistics, natural science, evaluation, engineering and geography. This notice informs the market of the award of suppliers who have been awarded a place on a framework only. There are no guarantees of work or contract value made as a result. All 'contract' values refer to total 8-year lot values. A redacted copy of the agreement, which is the same for all suppliers, is available on request.

Procedure

Features
This procurement is being conducted as a Competitive Flexible Procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Completion and submission of all documents will be conducted via the Authority’s eSourcing system. There will be three stages as follows: Stage One – Conditions of Participation At this stage of the procurement Tenderers will be asked to submit their Procurement Specific Questionnaire and the response to the Conditions of Participation. 1.1 Conditions of Participation and Procurement Specific Questionnaire Tenderers must complete a series of questions to allow the Authority to confirm their eligibility to participate in the competition, together with core supplier information, additional exclusions and debarment information. Tenderers will not progress to the Technical Response stage if they do not pass this stage. Stage Two – Tender Stage 1.2 Technical Response Tenderers must respond to a series of technical questions as outlined on the Authority’s eSourcing system. Responses will be evaluated as described in this document and the Authority’s eSourcing system. If Tenderers fail to meet any minimum scoring requirements, they will be eliminated from the competition and not progress to having their Commercial Response assessed. Suppliers must upload their Form of Tender otherwise their submission will not be considered. 1.3 Commercial Response Tenderers must complete the commercial envelope as detailed on the Authority’s eSourcing system. Responses will be evaluated as described in this document and the Authority’s eSourcing system. Scores from the technical and commercial sections will be added together to arrive at a total weighted score. The most advantageous tenders for each lot will be the Tenderers with the highest final scores. Tenderers will be notified about whether they have been successful in securing a place on the Framework. Stage Three – Preferred Bidder Stage An intended award list made up of preferred bidders will be finalised, and final negotiations will be conducted with those suppliers who have been selected. Please note that this tender will be tendered, evaluated and awarded on a sub-lot basis.
