Energia intends to shortlist a maximum of 5 Suppliers to participate in the dialogue/negotiation stand. \nEnergia reserve the right to award the contract to the preferred supplier based on the assessment of their initial tender without undertaking any negotiation or dialogue which may have been intended to be part of the process at the start of the CFP. \nSTAGE 4 - INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN DIALOGUE AND CONTRACT NEGOTIATION \nShortlisted Suppliers will receive an invitation from Energia to participate in dialogue meetings. This invitation will describe how the dialogue will be conducted, including the location and proposed dates for the relevant meetings. \nThis stage will include \nclarification meetings for Suppliers. \nproviding any new information made available to Suppliers \nconclusion around the closure of the procurement process \nSTAGE 5 -INVITATION TO SUBMIT FINAL TENDERS \nFinal tenders will be submitted as per the below timetable.  \nEnergia will confirm that neither the Supplier, nor any related persons within its corporate group, associate persons relied on to meet the COP, or sub-contractors are listed on the Cabinet Office debarment list. If any such entities are on the debarment list, Energia will consider its obligations under the Act. \nThe contract will be awarded to the Supplier that submits to Energia the MAT.  A maximum of 100 marks will be available in the scoring of submissions.  Where a Suppliers scores below an unacceptable score in any criteria, Energia will reserve the right to consider the Suppliers response as non-compliant, and they may be removed from the procurement process.   \nOnce the assessment is concluded, Suppliers that submitted a final tender will be notified of the tender outcome and Energia will publish the Contract Notice on the CDP. This will commence the mandatory standstill period.  \nSTAGE 6 - PREFERRED SUPPLIER \nThis stage will commence once a preferred supplier has been identified, approved and if the mandatory standstill period has ended without interruption.
