Where there is a tie for 6th place, then all Economic Operators in 6th place will be shortlisted and invited to submit tenders. For the purposes of this exercise a tie for 6th place is deemed to occur where two or more Economic Operators have identical scores or a score within 1 marks (out of a score of 100) of the 6th place score. In the event that any short-listed Economic Operator(s) withdraw(s) from the Procurement or subsequently become(s) ineligible to continue to participate in the Procurement at any stage following notification of short-listing and prior to issue of the Invitation to Tender, the University will remove the withdrawn/ineligible Economic Operator(s) from the short-list and will add to the short-list the next ranked eligible Economic Operator(s) (if any) to replace the Economic Operator(s) removed. The University will inform the relevant Economic Operator(s) accordingly. Where there is a tie in relation to the next ranked Economic Operator, (i.e. where two or more Economic Operators have identical scores or a score within 1 mark (out of a score of 100)), all Economic Operators with tied scores will be short-listed and invited to submit tenders. In the event that the Procurement is unavoidably delayed, but not cancelled, the PQQP Submission will be assessed at the time of receipt and the Economic Operators will be notified of the outcome. The short-list of Economic Operators for Invitation to Tender will typically remain valid for a period of up to 12 months from the PQQP Receipt Deadline. At the University's discretion the period of validity may be extended. When the Procurement is recommenced, the University may seek confirmation that the short-listed Economic Operators still meet the required minimum standards for the Procurement."
