A maximum of 5 organisations will be invited to the Invitation to Tender Stage (assuming that there are at least 5 suitably qualified organisations that pass the minimum criteria) following the evaluation of Tenderer's response to the Selection Questionnaire. If there are fewer than 5 organisations that pass the minimum criteria, then only those who pass will be invited to Invitation to Tender. If there are more than 5 organisations who pass the minimum criteria then the 5 highest scoring tenderers only, based on the scored questions within the SQ, will be invited to Invitation to Invitation to Tender. The minimum criteria are documented within Schedule 1 - Selection Questionnaire and Appendix 1 - Scoring Matrix and include a minimum threshold that must be achieved on the scored question. Following the evaluation of Tenderer's responses to the Selection Questionnaire, successful Tenderers will be invited to Invitation to Tender. Tenderers responses to the Invitation to Tender will be evaluated against the pre-defined evaluation criteria and NEPO will seek to award to a single operator who has been identified as submitting the most economically advantageous tender. The selection questionnaire document also contains an ITT overview that sets out the high-level requirements of the Framework Agreement. This document will allow suppliers to determine if they are interested in this opportunity and consider whether they have the required capability and capacity to deliver the Framework Agreement.",
