"features": "The Council will procure this contract using the Competitive Flexible Procedure as defined in the Procurement Act 2023, which will allow us to run a multistage procurement process, the process will be in 2 Stages as follows: Stage 1 - Tenderers will complete the Response Document (including the pricing schedule) and submit in line with the deadlines outlined in section 2 of the Instructions to Tenderers document. All Tenderers are required to pass Part 1 (Registration on FTS (CDP) and Exclusions Information) and Part 2 (Conditions of Participation and Project Specific Questions) (Bid Forms 1 - 12) before proceeding to be evaluated and moderated at Part 3 - Award Criteria. Stage 2 - The top three Tenderers based on scores from Bid Forms 13 to 19 (Part 3 - Award Criteria) will advance to Stage 2, where they will be invited to demonstrate their system and provide access to a test site for user evaluation. Tenderers should be aware that the Council may raise clarifications based on your quality response before the top scoring Tenderers are invited to Stage 2. Once Stage 2 is completed, the Council will collate all scores for stages 1 and 2 and the Council will award the Contract to the highest scoring organisation in terms of the stated award criteria. Full details of the requirement and context of the procurement can be found in the Service Specification which is in Schedule 8 of the SAAS Contract Document.
