SS Richard Montgomery Mast Reduction Project

• How the procedure runs: DfT will conduct a two-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure comprising a participation stage followed by a tendering stage. Stage 1 - Participation stage During this stage, suppliers will be invited to submit a Request to Participate ("RTP") in response to the information requirements set out in Part C of the RTP. Submissions will be assessed against the Procurement Specific Questionnaire ("PSQ"), setting out the exclusion grounds and the Conditions of Participation, as described in the RTP and available via the DfT Sourcing Portal: https://dft.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html. Only suppliers who satisfy and pass the minimum conditions will be shortlisted and invited to the tendering stage. Stage 2 - Tendering stage At this stage, shortlisted suppliers will be issued with an Invitation to Tender ("ITT") (and accompanying tender documents) and provided access to the project data room. Suppliers will be required to submit tenders in response to the information requirements set out in Part C of the ITT, addressing the award criteria summarised in this tender notice and further detailed in the ITT. The detailed procedure for the tendering stage, including the timetable and any clarification rules, will be set out in the ITT. DfT expects to make an award following the evaluation of tenders submitted in response to the ITT. However, DfT reserves the right to introduce a period of negotiation following the submission of final tenders, if it is unable to make an award on the basis of the tenders received in response to the ITT. The inclusion, scope and duration of any such negotiation followed by an Invitation to Submit Final Tenders ("ISFT") will be at DfT's sole discretion.

How it runs

DfT will conduct a two-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure comprising a participation stage followed by a tendering stage.

Stage 1 - Participation stage

During this stage, suppliers will be invited to submit a Request to Participate ("RTP") in response to the information requirements set out in Part C of the RTP. Submissions will be assessed against the Procurement Specific Questionnaire ("PSQ"), setting out the exclusion grounds and the Conditions of Participation, as described in the RTP and available via the DfT Sourcing Portal: dft.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html ↗. Only suppliers who satisfy and pass the minimum conditions will be shortlisted and invited to the tendering stage.

Stage 2 - Tendering stage

At this stage, shortlisted suppliers will be issued with an Invitation to Tender ("ITT") (and accompanying tender documents) and provided access to the project data room.

Suppliers will be required to submit tenders in response to the information requirements set out in Part C of the ITT, addressing the award criteria summarised in this tender notice and further detailed in the ITT. The detailed procedure for the tendering stage, including the timetable and any clarification rules, will be set out in the ITT.

DfT expects to make an award following the evaluation of tenders submitted in response to the ITT. However, DfT reserves the right to introduce a period of negotiation following the submission of final tenders, if it is unable to make an award on the basis of the tenders received in response to the ITT. The inclusion, scope and duration of any such negotiation followed by an Invitation to Submit Final Tenders ("ISFT") will be at DfT's sole discretion.
