Procedure

Features
The procurement is intended to proceed as a multi-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure with an open participation stage (PSQ) followed by a main tender stage for shortlisted contractors. The purpose of the PSQ stage is to test suitability, capability, relevant experience and financial standing on a transparent and proportionate basis before inviting a manageable shortlist to tender for the main works contract. Tenderers should note that, at the time of issuing the PSQ participation stage documentation, no budget has yet been formally committed to the Westgate Village Development main works. Accordingly, there is no guarantee at this stage that the works will proceed or that the Council will progress to the Invitation to Tender stage. Following completion of the participation stage and evaluation of PSQ submissions, the outcome will be reported to Cabinet, at which point a decision will be taken on whether to proceed to the Invitation to Tender stage.
