Procedure

Features

Competitive Flexible Procedure under the new Procurement Act 2023. This will be a multi stage process: Stage 1 - Invitation to Participate - PSQ/ Supplier Information Questionnaire. The Authority will undertake a review of the completed PSQ with reference to any information held on the Central Digital Platform. Responses to any conditions of participation, including pass/fail questions and scored questions, will be assessed in accordance with the selection process and any selection criteria as set out in the Tender Documentation. The assessment of these responses will identify the seven (7) highest ranking Suppliers who will be invited to participate in Stage 2, Stage 3 and Stage 4. Stage 2 - Invitation to Submit Initial Tender. The seven (7) highest-ranked tenderers that have not been excluded from the procurement process at Stage 1 will be invited to participate in the Initial Tender. The Initial Tender will not be scored and will serve solely as the basis for the Feedback Meeting Stage (Stage 3). However, the seven (7) highest-ranked Tenderers are still required to complete the relevant questionnaires and documentation. Stage 3 - Feedback Meetings (not scored) Meetings will be held with each Tenderer to provide feedback relative to their Initial Tender. Stage 4 - Invitation to submit a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) Following the completion of Stage 3, the tenderers that have not been excluded from the procurement process will be invited by the Contracting Authority to submit Best and Final Offer (BAFO) Tenders. The Authority reserves the right to refine any specific award criteria during the Procurement (in accordance with section 24 of the Procurement Act 2023).
