Completion and submission of all documents will be conducted via the Authority's eSourcing system. There will be six stages as follows: Stage One/Two - Conditions of Participation At this stage of the procurement Tenderers will be asked to submit their Procurement Specific Questionnaire and the response to the Conditions of Participation. 1. Conditions of Participation and Procurement Specific Questionnaire Tenderers must complete a series of questions to allow the Authority to confirm their eligibility to participate in the competition, together with core supplier information, additional exclusions and debarment information. 2. Form of Tender Suppliers must upload their Form of Tender otherwise their submission will not be considered. Tenderers will not progress to the Technical Response stage if they do not pass these stages. Stage Three/Four - Tender Stage 3. Technical Response Tenderers must respond to a series of technical questions as outlined on the Authority's eSourcing system. Responses will be evaluated as described in this document and the Authority's eSourcing system. If Tenderers fail to meet any minimum scoring requirements, they will be eliminated from the competition and not progress to having their Commercial Response assessed. 4. Commercial Response Tenderers must complete the commercial envelope as detailed on the Authority's eSourcing system. Responses will be evaluated as described in this document and the Authority's eSourcing system. Stage Five - Final Score Scores from the technical and commercial sections will be added together to arrive at a total weighted score. The most advantageous tenders for each lot will be the Tenderers with the highest final scores. Tenderers will be notified about whether they have been successful in progressing to the next stage (trial phase). Stage Six - Trial To ensure any new analyser models purchased can be seamlessly added into the AURN network, we have included a trial phase. Contract award is dependent on the satisfactory completion of and success of our trial pass criteria. Rental of two instruments will be required to conduct a working trial. The trial will be a minimum of one month, maximum three months, after delivery so the two instruments can be tested by our Quality Assurance contractor."
