Publisher note: The Authority will ensure a fair and transparent procurement process whilst complying with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and, subject to Section IV.1.5 below, intends to invite the top three scoring Candidates at selection stage to submit an initial tender, draft final tender and final tender. Further information about the procurement process is set out in the Project Information Memorandum.The Authority has launched a separate procurement for a Professional Services Contract. While Candidates are welcome to bid for both opportunities, the same organisation will not be able to win both contracts, as a key part of the role of the PSC Consultant will be to manage the Service Provider. This also means that both the Service Provider and the PSC Consultant must act in good faith and with absolute impartiality in the performance of their respective roles. Consequently, if a Candidate, who was participating in both the procurement of the Professional Services Contract and this Contract, was to become preferred bidder for the Professional Services Contract, then their bid for this Contract would automatically be withdrawn at that point. At the outset, the Authority expects that Candidates will not engage in any behaviours which may jeopardise the integrity of this Procurement or which may confer any form of advantage to a Candidate in this Procurement. This includes engaging in communications in connection with either the Professional Services or Highways Services procurement processes or contracts with organisations, currently involved in bidding for, or that might subsequently be appointed to deliver, the Professional Services Contract. Selection Questionnaire responses and tenders are to be completed electronically using the Portal: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home. Please note that a ‘request to participate’ for the purposes of this contract notice (in particular, Section IV.2.2) is by completion and return of the Selection Questionnaire by the stated deadline.Candidates will remain responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by them or by any third party acting under instructions from Candidates in connection with taking part in this procurement, regardless of whether such costs arise as a direct or indirect consequence of any amendments made to the procurement documents by the Authority at any time. The Authority is mindful of the issues presented by conflicts of interest and will be proactively managing any actual or potential conflicts that may arise during this procurement. The Authority reserves the right at any time to: i) reject any or all responses and to cancel or withdraw this procurement at any stage; ii) award a contract without prior notice; iii) change the basis, the procedures and the time-scales set out or referred to within the procurement documents; iv) require a Candidate to clarify any submissions in writing and/or provide additional information (failure to respond adequately may result in disqualification); v) terminate the procurement process; and/or vi) amend the terms and conditions of the selection and evaluation process.All discussions and correspondence will be deemed strictly subject to contract until a formal contract is entered into. The formal contract shall not be binding until it has been signed and dated by the duly authorised representatives of both parties.The estimated value of the contract identified in II.2.6) is only an estimate at this stage. There is some uncertainty as to the total value for several reasons including: (i) the flexible approach being adopted which anticipates change and continuous improvement; (ii) the annual budget for Highways Service and availability of central Government funding; and (iii) the significant impact that inflation could have on costs under the contract which means that the value could change and has the potential to exceed the figure provided at this stage.
