    "description": "The Department for Transport (\"DfT\") intends to procure a supplier to deliver mast reduction works (cutting and removal) on the SS Richard Montgomery (\"SSRM\"), a protected wreck located in the Thames Estuary. The contract will cover all associated works necessary to deliver mast reduction and disposal in a safe, controlled, and environmentally responsible manner.\nThe supplier will be expected to provide a full range of activities and resources necessary for the planning and execution of mast reduction on the SSRM. This is likely to encompass:\n•\tDevelopment of a detailed methodology and plan for mast reduction.\n•\tCompletion of any outstanding technical surveys (for example, geotechnical / UXO- related) required to inform safe delivery of the works.\n•\tProvision of all vessels, plant, equipment, and personnel required.\n•\tSafe cutting, lifting, and disposal (or repurposing) of the mast structures.\n•\tEffective implementation of environmental protections, health and safety measures, and UXO / pUXO management procedures.\n•\tFinal clearance and demobilisation of the site.\nCertain activities will fall outside the scope of the contract, including those that will be undertaken by DfT or its specialist advisors in the planning, assurance, and management of the project (for example, preparatory surveys, design assurance, permit applications).\nA more detailed description of the intended scope of works is provided within the Request to Participate (\"RTP\") document to support suppliers' understanding of the requirement. A full statement of requirements, setting out the technical, operational and safety aspects of the works, will be provided as part of the tender documents during the tendering stage",

The contract will cover all associated works necessary to deliver mast reduction and disposal in a safe, controlled, and environmentally responsible manner.\nThe supplier will be expected to provide a full range of activities and resources necessary for the planning and execution of mast reduction on the SSRM. This is likely to encompass:\n•\tDevelopment of a detailed methodology and plan for mast reduction.\n•\tCompletion of any outstanding technical surveys (for example, geotechnical / UXO- related) required to inform safe delivery of the works.\n•\tProvision of all vessels, plant, equipment, and personnel required.\n•\tSafe cutting, lifting, and disposal (or repurposing) of the mast structures.\n•\tEffective implementation of environmental protections, health and safety measures, and UXO / pUXO management procedures.\n•\tFinal clearance and demobilisation of the site.\nCertain activities will fall outside the scope of the contract, including those that will be undertaken by DfT or its specialist advisors in the planning, assurance, and management of the project (for example, preparatory surveys, design assurance, permit applications).\nA more detailed description of the intended scope of works is provided within the Request to Participate (\"RTP\") document to support suppliers' understanding of the requirement. A full statement of requirements, setting out the technical, operational and safety aspects of the works, will be provided as part of the tender documents during the tendering stage",

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.\nStage 2 - Tendering stage\nAt 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.\nSuppliers 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.\nDfT 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."

The contract will cover all associated works necessary to deliver mast reduction and disposal in a safe, controlled, and environmentally responsible manner.\nThe supplier will be expected to provide a full range of activities and resources necessary for the planning and execution of mast reduction on the SSRM. This is likely to encompass:\n•\tDevelopment of a detailed methodology and plan for mast reduction.\n•\tCompletion of any outstanding technical surveys (for example, geotechnical / UXO- related) required to inform safe delivery of the works.\n•\tProvision of all vessels, plant, equipment, and personnel required.\n•\tSafe cutting, lifting, and disposal (or repurposing) of the mast structures.\n•\tEffective implementation of environmental protections, health and safety measures, and UXO / pUXO management procedures.\n•\tFinal clearance and demobilisation of the site.\nCertain activities will fall outside the scope of the contract, including those that will be undertaken by DfT or its specialist advisors in the planning, assurance, and management of the project (for example, preparatory surveys, design assurance, permit applications).\nA more detailed description of the intended scope of works is provided within the Request to Participate (\"RTP\") document to support suppliers' understanding of the requirement. A full statement of requirements, setting out the technical, operational and safety aspects of the works, will be provided as part of the tender documents during the tendering stage",
