"features": "This tender is being run as a Competitive Flexible Procedure under Section 20 (2) of the Act using the Light Touch Regime (Section 9 of the Act). The most advantageous submission will be identified through a 5 stage tender: 1) Stage 1- Participation Stage- request to participate, PSQ and Conditions of Participation. These are pass/fail and all suppliers who pass shall proceed onto the next stage 2) Stage 2- Tender Stage 1 (Quality and Pricing). This stage is a desktop paper evaluation of quality-70% and pricing-30% (shared for transparency from beginning of tender). Following assessment as detailed in the tender documents the top 3 highest scoring suppliers, who pass Gateway questions and pass the quality threshold, will be selected to move to the next stage. 3) Stage 3- Tender Stage 2 (Scenarios) These are practical scenarios and will assess the suppliers experience and skill of reacting to medical scenarios. These are scored out of 100% The top 2 scoring bidders shall be invited to the next stage. 4) Stage 4- Tender Stage 3 (Presentations). The top two bidders shall be invited to undertake a presentation on a topic notified at the conclusion of Stage 3. This will be assessed and scored in accordance with tender documents. 5) Stage 5- Tender Stage 4- BAFO and negotiation. The Authority will enter negotiation stage around elements of the top two scoring bids and following conclusion will accept a BAFO for final assessment prior to award. To determine the most advantageous tender the scores for the three tender stages will be captured and the following calculations shall be undertaken: * Tender Stage 1- Score (Technical and Pricing) shall be multiplied by 0.6 (60%) * Tender Stage 2- Score (Scenario) shall be multiplied by 0.3 (30%) * Tender Stage 3- Score (Presentations) shall be multiplied by 0.1 (10%) It is noted that the BAFO from Stage 5 will be used to replace pricing from Stage 1 if revised pricing is submitted. In accordance with Reg 54 (3) a the participation stage timeline is reduced and in accordance with Reg 54 (4) the tendering period is also reduced. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to amend or not undertake a Stage. The Authority reserves the right to bring an additional Bidder through to Stage 3- Tender Stage 2 and/or Stage 4- Tender Stage 3 if there is a tie in scores or a 1% difference in scores."
