"description": "This procurement process uses the negotiated procedure with prior call for competition (Utilities Contracts Regulations Reg. 47), and is being conducted in successive stages. A total of 4 Applicants will be shortlisted from the first stage, i.e. pre-qualification, and will be invited to submit a tender. Interested organisations must complete and submit a completed Pre-Qualification Questionnaire by the specified closing date and time. Submissions cannot be uploaded after this return deadline. Further information about the procurement process will be provided in a pre-qualification pack provided to all suppliers responding to this Contract Notice. Other than the Pre-Qualification Pack and Pre-Qualification Questionnaire, the procurement documents published at the date of this Notice are in outline form, and Portsmouth Water reserves the right to amend, augment and supplement any document. Portsmouth Water reserves the right at any time to cease the procurement process and not award any contract or to award only part of the opportunities described in this Notice. If Portsmouth Water takes up this right, then it will not be responsible for or required to pay the expenses or losses, which may be incurred by any organisation or Tenderer resulting therefrom. Except for the Contract(if any), concluded with the successful Tenderer, nothing in the procurement process shall create a contract, whether express or implied, between Portsmouth Water and any Applicant or Tenderer. Portsmouth Water intends to select 4 Applicants to invite to tender. Portsmouth Water may conduct the negotiations in successive stages in order to reduce the number of Tenders to be negotiated, by applying the award criteria specified in the ITT. It reserves the right at any time to close negotiations and award the Contract. Portsmouth Water undertakes to hold confidential any information provided in the proposal submitted, subject to its obligations under the law including Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) and the retained EU law version of the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679). If the organisation considers that any of the information submitted in the proposal should not be disclosed because of its sensitivity, then this should be stated with the reason for considering it sensitive. Portsmouth Water will then endeavour to consult with the Applicant about such sensitive information when considering any request for information (e.g. under the EIR), before replying to such a request. Portsmouth Water reserves the right to carry out additional financial checks on all organisations bidding for this opportunity at any time during the procurement process. This is to ensure that they continue to meet its requirements and remain financially viable to fulfil the requirements under the proposed contracts.",
