Procedure

Features
Platform Housing will conduct this procurement using the Competitive Flexible Procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement will be undertaken in two stages. Stage 1 - Conditions of Participation / Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ): Suppliers will be required to complete a Procurement Specific Questionnaire which includes confirmation of core supplier information via the Central Digital Platform, exclusion grounds declarations, and responses to Conditions of Participation relating to financial capacity, legal compliance and technical ability. Certain questions will be assessed on a pass/fail basis and others will be scored. Further details regarding the Conditions of Participation, including the assessment and scoring methodology, can be found within the Conditions of Participation (CoP) document issued with the procurement documents. Following evaluation of PSQ submissions, Platform Housing Group intends to shortlist the highest ranked suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation to proceed to the next stage of the procurement. Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT): Shortlisted suppliers will be invited to submit a full tender in response to the procurement documents. Tenders will be evaluated on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT), taking into account quality and price criteria as set out in the tender documentation. Platform Housing Group reserves the right to seek clarification of submissions and may refine the procurement process where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023. Contracts will be awarded to the highest scoring suppliers in accordance with the award criteria and the maximum number of suppliers specified for each lot.
