The Initial Tender will not be scored and will serve solely as the basis for the Negotiation Stage (Stage 3). However, the three (3) highest-ranked Tenderers are still required to complete the relevant questionnaires and documentation. * Stage 3: The tenderers that have not been excluded from the procurement process in Stage 2 will be invited to participate in the negotiations. The basis for negotiations will be informed by the questions raised by the Authority during the market engagement and the completed relevant questionnaires/ documentation submitted by the three (3) highest-ranked tenderers during Stage 2 (Initial Tender). * Stage 4: Following the completion of Stage 3, the tenderers that have not been excluded from the procurement process will be invited by the Contracting Authority to submit Best and Final Offer (BAFO) Tenders."

Based on this, RFL has taken the decision not to use Lots for the following reasons: 1. RFL wishes to establish a strategic partnership with a recognised dialysis specialist as the lead supplier, given the growing demand for dialysis in north London. 2. Separating future expansion from the initial contract runs the risk of RFL having two different suppliers delivering renal dialysis services via two separate procurement processes. This would be a significant contract management challenge and interface risk between suppliers, as well as present an operational and clinical challenge in managing multiple relationships across multiple sites, which are, in effect, part of a single service. 3. RFL has carefully researched the market and conducted market engagement to ensure that RFL's proposals are viable."
