The Authority intends to conduct the procurement in up to three stages. \nStage 1 is the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). The PSQ will be assessed based on the selection criteria within the PSQ and Spectroil Maintenance – PSQ Guidance document. Down selection of Suppliers will be based on PASS/FAIL evaluation for the questions within the questionnaire, to determine if the supplier meets the required conditions of participation. Only the complaint suppliers shall be invited to the next stage - Invitation to Tender (ITT). \nStage 2 is the issue of the initial ITT.  Shortlisted suppliers who meet the conditions of participation are invited to submit their full tender. \nStage 3 (if used) would involve issue of a modified ITT in accordance with Section 31 (2) (a). However, the Authority reserves the right to make an award following evaluation of the initial tender submissions (Stage 2) where it considers that the award criteria have been satisfactorily met, without proceeding to any further stages.\nThe Authority reserves the right under the Procurement Act 2023 to:\nTo cancel the procurement procedure at any stage.\nNot award a contract as a result of the procurement process.\nMake any modifications during a competitive flexible procedure, provided that the deadline to participate or submit a first or only tender has not passed (section 31(1)(b)).\nMake non substantial modifications, during a competitive flexible procedure, up to the deadline of the final tendering stage (section 31(2)(a)).\nRefine or supplement the award criteria during a competitive flexible procedure (section 24(1)).\nThe issue of the PSQ is not a commitment by the Authority to subsequently issue an invitation to tender, invitation to negotiate or place a contract. Neither does the issue of this or subsequent documents create any implied contract between the Authority and any participant, and any such implied contract is expressly excluded."
