A single stage process has been adopted, all bidders passing the conditions for participation e.g. financial and technical suitability will be taken forward to the ITT award evaluation stage. The three Tenderers with the highest aggregated quality and commercial scores who pass the first stage selection questions and submit a compliant bid. The Authority reserves the right to hold a further dialogue and negotiation stage with the two tenderers with the highest aggregated quality and commercial scores. These discussions may be used to refine terms and conditions, technical requirements, service level agreements, drive a focus on price etc. This may require elements of the tenderer submission to be resubmitted or reflected in the final agreement. Please refer to E-Tender Wales, ITT volume 1 for more information."
