- How the procedure runs: For reasons of programme urgency, the Authority is issuing the Participation Stage (PSQ) and the Invitation to Tender together and requiring Suppliers to submit both their PSQ responses and their Tenders by the same deadline. However, the evaluation will remain sequential. The process will begin with a Participation Stage using a Procurement Specific Questionnaire which sets objective Conditions of Participation to limit the number of Suppliers who progress to the next stage. Suppliers that achieve a minimum score of 70 % at the Participation Stage and meet all Conditions of Participation will be informed that they have passed the Participation Stage and that their Tenders will be opened and evaluated at the Invitation to Tender stage. Any Tender submitted by a Supplier that does not meet these requirements will not be opened or evaluated. At the Invitation to Tender stage, shortlisted Suppliers will have their Tenders opened and evaluated. They will submit technical and commercial proposals and may raise clarification questions before submission. Following the initial evaluation of Tenders, the Authority may undertake clarification, dialogue or negotiation with Tenderers in accordance with the process described in this document. Where stated, the Authority may invite revised Tenders as part of this stage. Once the initial evaluation of Tenders is completed, the Authority may decide to conduct a separate Best and Final Offer stage in accordance with the process described under the heading “Best and Final Offer” below. Where a Best and Final Offer stage is undertaken, updated submissions will be incorporated into the final evaluation before approvals and award. Best and Final Offers will not be sought by way of individual ad hoc clarification questions.
