This requires interested parties to complete a pre-qualification stage by submitting a Single Procurement Document Scotland (SPD) before being invited to submit a tender. This down selection process allows us to limit the number of parties receiving the full tender and moving forward to the negotiation phase(s). Under CPN tenders are submitted from down selected suppliers and are then subject to evaluation and negotiation and then re-submitted to finalise positions and allow selection of a preferred bidder. In the event when DML HR down select to more than three (3) DML HR reserve the right to down select to three (3) prior to moving to negotiate with supplier for final offers, this would be based on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender score achieved. DML HR reserves the right not to conclude any Contract from either Lot for this Procurement. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 18139.
