Procedure

Features
Two stage process comprising PSQ and shortlisting followed by ITT Stage. The PSQ stage requires completion and return of a Selection Questionnaire via the Authority's electronic tendering (Atamis). This includes the provision of details from the Central Digital Platform. Shortlisting to the ITT stage will be by a series of compliance checks followed by evaluation of the supplier responses to the Selection Criteria. The ITT stage will be made available to a maximum of three shortlisted suppliers upon completion of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. The ITT will comprise Contract Data, Scope and Pricing documentation and a set of Award Criteria. Evaluation of quality and price will be made against the suppliers response to the requirements as per the Award Criteria. The Authority reserves the right to refine the award criteria at the ITT stage of this procurement. A Prior Notice was not published because the procurement strategy determined that early market engagement was not necessary for this requirement. The scope, technical specifications, and commercial approach were well-defined internally, and sufficient market intelligence was already available from previous procurements and industry analysis.
