Procedure

Features

This procurement uses the Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The process will have one Tender response deadline requiring the concurrent submission for both the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) and the Invitation to Tender (ITT) which must be submitted simultaneously. PSQ Evaluation will take place via a Conditions of Participation Assessment, whereby only those Tenderers who successfully qualify will progress and have their ITT submissions assessed at the next stage of the process. Step 1: The PSQ requests standard Tenderer information, hard binary gateway questions (mandatory/exclusion grounds) insurance information, project specific pass/fail questions and project specific scored questions (there is a minimum score of 3 to pass). Please note that a fail on any gateway question results in exclusion. Step 2: Tenderers who have passed all pass/fail questions and have received a minimum score of 3 or above at PSQ stage will have their full ITT responses evaluated. Evaluations will focus on Quality, including Social Value (70%) and Commercial (20%). The Crown Estate reserves the right to exercise Step 3 to invite the top three highest ranked Tenderers for a Presentation/Interview (10%). The contract will be awarded to the most advantageous Tender. As the PSQ and ITT will be issued and returned simultaneously, The Crown Estate accepts no liability for any costs incurred by a Tenderer in preparing an ITT response that is not evaluated as a result of PSQ failure. Tenderers must not assume that a submission of an ITT response indicates that their PSQ has been assessed as a pass.
