Procedure

Features
Competitive Flexible Procedure Description The procurement is being conducted using a Competitive Flexible Procedure. Following the tender submission deadline, all compliant tenders will be evaluated against the published award criteria and methodology. Contracts will be awarded on a Lot-by-Lot basis to the bidder(s) submitting the Most Advantageous Tender. No negotiation, dialogue, refinement of award criteria or further tendering rounds are anticipated. The Council reserves the right to seek clarifications in accordance with the procurement documents. Lot Allocation Bidders may submit tenders for one, multiple or all four Lots. To support a diverse and sustainable provider market, no bidder will be awarded more than two (2) Lots. As part of their tender submission, bidders must rank the Lots they are bidding for in order of preference. Where a bidder achieves the highest scoring position for more than two Lots, the Council will take these preferences into account and will endeavour to award the bidder's highest-ranked Lots. Lot allocation will be determined by the final evaluation results, bidder preferences and the maximum award limit. Where an organisation participates in more than one submission, whether individually or through a consortium, partnership or other collaborative arrangement, all submissions will be treated as connected bids for the purposes of evaluation and Lot allocation. The Council reserves the right to depart from bidder preferences and/or the maximum award limit where necessary to achieve the most advantageous overall outcome, ensure successful award of all Lots, or maintain service continuity where insufficient compliant tenders are received.
