- Legal form for consortia
- Subject to the status and involvement of the parties, an Applicant may be required to commit to joint and several liability in respect of any contract awarded. Alternatively, the lead operator may be required to take total responsibility or a consortium to form a legal entity before entering into any contract.
- Shortlisting
- Interested Parties should search for the relevant project at https://e-sourcingni.bravosolutions.co.uk. For those wishing to participate, they must first complete and submit the relevant PQQ on, or before, the due date. Phoenix, along with the other clients and in accordance with the PQQ, shall draw up a short-list of Applicants for each Lot as described above, based upon the completed PQQs received. Those shortlisted Applicants will then be invited to the tender stage which shall involve the completion and submission of, on or before a pre-determined time and date, an Invitation to Tender document. The responses submitted shall be evaluated and a further short-list may be drawn up from which a presentation/ negotiation stage may follow. Ultimately the most economically advantageous tender(s) for each Lot will (subject to Phoenix's ability to terminate the tender process (for all or any Lots) at any time at its discretion) be awarded a place on the framework agreement for that Lot(s).
- Successive reduction
- Candidates will be reduced successively across stages
- “Not applicable” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
