This stage is designed to assess each supplier's suitability to deliver the contract. Suppliers must successfully pass this stage to proceed further in the procurement process. No tender submissions are required at this stage; however, all procurement documents, including the Statement of Requirement and evaluation criteria, will be made available to suppliers at the outset. Suppliers who do not meet the participation requirements will be notified in writing of the outcome and will not progress to the next stage. Stage Two: Invitation to Tender Suppliers that are shortlisted from the prequalification stage will be invited to submit a full tender in response to our requirements. Tender submissions will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation methodology detailed in the tender documents."
