We will evaluate Stage One Tenders to determine which suppliers will proceed to the second tender stage at Stage Two.\nScores from Stage One don't carry over in any way to Stage Two.\nStage Two includes a site visit to be held on a date to be confirmed. It also includes participant presentations/demonstrations on dates to be confirmed. \nAll Stage Two tenders submitted must be capable of acceptance without the need for negotiation, fine tuning or value engineering.\nWe do not anticipate conducting any negotiation during this procurement process. We reserve the right to introduce negotiation stages into the procurement process at our sole discretion.\nWhilst the evaluation of tenders will be based strictly on the criteria set out in the ITT issued at Stage Two, once the evaluation is complete, we reserve the right to, with the successful participant before finalising the contract and at our sole discretion, fine tune the scope of services and/or conduct a value engineering exercise.\nFor more information please log on to Delta and review the ITP pack."
