Procedure

Features

Stage 1: Invitation to Participate The Council will publish a Procurement Notice and issue the Invitation to Tender (ITT) at the commencement of the procurement. The ITT applies to all stages of the Competitive Flexible Procedure and sets out the structure, requirements and rules for each stage. The ITT remains in force throughout the procedure, subject to any refinements or updated documents issued by the Council. The Council does not intend to re-issue the ITT at each stage. In Stage 1, suppliers will be required to complete a response to the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). Responses to the PSQ will be assessed against the stated conditions of participation as detailed in the ITT Part One - Process Overview and associated assessment methodology. The Council intends to limit the number of participating suppliers invited to submit an Initial Tender at Stage 2 to a maximum of four (4) suppliers. Stage 2 - Invitation to Submit Initial Tender In Stage 2, Suppliers will be invited to submit Initial Tenders. Initial Tenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the ITT. Following evaluation, the Council will invite a maximum of three (3) suppliers to participate in Stage 3. The Council is interested in exploring the possibility of adopting an agency model for the delivery of the Services at the Leisure Centres. Those suppliers which are shortlisted at Stage 2 will be invited to submit a non-mandatory variant tender (which would only be permitted in addition to the submission of each supplier's standard tender) to enable the Council to consider the potential benefits of an agency model further. The Council reserves the right not to progress with its exploration of an agency model and to cease its consideration of variant tenders at any time during the Procurement process. Stage 3 - Invitation to Participate in Negotiation Suppliers invited to Stage 3 will be required to participate in structured negotiations with the aim of exploring their proposals for the Services further. Stage 4 - Invitation to Submit Final Tenders (ISFT) In Stage 4, suppliers will be invited to submit final tenders. The Council will seek to award the Contract to the supplier which submits the most advantageous tender. This could be on the basis of a standard tender or variant tender (see ITT for details). Progression between stages will be managed through formal invitations issued via the E-Procurement System. Each invitation will confirm the stage, documents in force, submission requirements and timetable. Progression is not automatic. Further Details on the assessment criteria and shortlisting arrangements can be found in Part One - Process Overview of the tender pack. Documents are available at www.eastmidstenders.org Please search for TD2317 Please note: we will only accept expressions of interest through the e-tendering system.
