Features
National Grid intends to conduct a Competitive Flexible Procedure with a multi-stage process. Suppliers are requested to register their interest to enable secure onboarding to National Grid's Ariba sourcing platform. Following onboarding, National Grid will issue the confidential procurement documents through Ariba, a qualification questionnaire and associated documents and the tender documents, including the technical requirements, commercial schedules, contract documents and response templates. Suppliers must submit a completed request to participate by the deadline stated in the notice. National Grid will assess responses against the published conditions of participation and, where applicable, the published criteria for limiting supplier numbers. Suppliers selected to proceed will then be invited to submit tenders through Ariba. Suppliers who submitted via the Planned Procurement Notice do not need to complete to expression of interest to proceed. National Grid will assess requests to participate against the published conditions of participation and any supplier selection criteria meeting the conditions of participation and any selection criteria will be invited to tender. The procurement will be conducted in two stages: Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ): Suppliers will first be invited to complete a PQQ to assess their suitability, capability, experience and financial standing. The highest-scoring suppliers will be shortlisted. Request for Proposal (RFP): Shortlisted suppliers will then be invited to submit a detailed RFP response. Following the initial evaluation of RFP submissions, National Grid may conduct a round of negotiations with participating suppliers to clarify and refine their proposals, where appropriate. The final award decision will be based on the published award criteria, taking account of the suppliers' final submissions following negotiations. The contract will be awarded to the supplier offering the most advantageous tender in accordance with the stated evaluation methodology.
