                "description": "The Preliminary Market Engagement has been concluded, the purpose and outcomes of the exercise are detailed below: Intended Purpose: 1.Assess Market Capability: Verify eXceeding's knowledge of supplier landscape in alignment with GPhC's specific technical and regulatory requirements. 2.Target Suitable Suppliers Efficiently: Rather than using an open advertisement (deemed unnecessary due to market saturation), eXceeding used its existing market knowledge and expertise to engage directly with known specialist suppliers that matched GPhC's needs. 3.Inform Procurement Strategy: To gather insight into: *Preferred cost models. *Migration timelines and methodologies. *Potential contractual concerns. *Market expectations about collaboration and due diligence before contract award. *Any other barriers to participation or wider concerns around scope and approach 4.Ensure Competitive Fairness and Transparency: To maintain equal access and prevent conflict of interest, all suppliers were provided with the same baseline information and signed declarations of interests. Final Outcomes 1.Market Alignment Confirmed: All engaged suppliers demonstrated strong alignment with GPhC's needs-particularly in Azure expertise, healthcare/public sector experience, and ability to provide UK-based support. 2.Market Confidence Validated: All participating suppliers expressed an intention to bid, showing no significant concerns. This indicates strong market interest and capacity to meet GPhC's needs. 3.Insight into Market Conditions and Preferences: Pricing Models: Preferences varied (e.g., fixed fee, per-user, per-device). Transition Times: Suppliers were generally comfortable with the timelines; some could even transition faster. Legal Considerations: Suppliers would need to review GPhC's contract terms legally, potentially causing small delays but no major blockers. 4.Contract Value vs. Supplier Scale: For most suppliers, the contract would be significant and strategic. Even for the largest supplier, it remains a notable opportunity. 5.Risks Identified Early: A minor concern about needing further engagement to understand service peaks/troughs and historical performance. Importance of clarifying whether the incumbent is also the CSP and license owner, as this impacts transition complexity. 6.Procurement Readiness Enhanced: GPhC now has a clear view (from a wide spectrum of suppliers) on whether our service requirements are realistic and explicit. These findings have been incorporated into the ITT.",

STAGE 1: Invitation to Participate 4.1 Stage 1 commences with the issuing of a Tender Notice published on the Central Digital Platform transmitted via Delta our eSourcing platform -https://www.delta-esourcing.com/ . Tender documents will be available on our Delta e Sourcing portal using the access code set out in the front page of this document - VEXQSU9344 4.2 Once the tender deadline has passed, GPhC will also undertake a review of the core supplier information (as defined in the Procurement Regulations 2024) held on the Central Digital Platform (the Supplier to provide a sharing code or download of the PDF details as part of the tender response). 4.3 A check on the compliance with the Conditions of Participation is conducted at this stage, conditions are available in Annex 2. A supplier which does not satisfy the Conditions of Participation will not be invited to participate in stage 2 of this procurement exercise. 4.4 In addition, the GPhC will consider whether any Supplier or connected persons within its corporate group, associated persons relied on to meet the conditions of participation, or proposed sub-contractors are excluded or excludable Suppliers. Save where the Supplier or an associated person is on the Debarment List. Before the GPhC determines that a Supplier is an excluded or excludable Supplier, it will provide the Supplier reasonable opportunity to make representations and provide evidence as is proportionate in the circumstances. If the Supplier is an excluded or excludable Supplier only by virtue of an associated person or proposed sub-contractor, the GPhC will notify the Supplier of its intention to exclude the Supplier and provide the Supplier with reasonable opportunity to replace the associated person or sub-contractor. If as a consequence of this process, the GPhC excludes the Supplier from participating in the Procurement or is aware of an associated person or sub-contract having been replaced, it will give notice of this fact within 30 days of its decision to the Procurement Review Unit (PRU). 4.5 Responses to the Conditions of Participation will be assessed in accordance with Annex 2 and Annex 3. 4.6 Stage 1 includes a procurement specific questionnaire (PSQ) at Annex 3 which all Suppliers are required to complete and return in accordance with the Procurement Timetable and instructions within this document. Please refer to the evaluation criteria in Annex 3 scoring methodology on how we intend to evaluate this stage. Note there is a wordcount for the PSQ. 4.7 The assessment of a) the information held in the Central Digital Platform, b) the Conditions of Participation and C) the PSQ; altogether these responses will help us identify the top 5 highest ranked Suppliers to be invited to participate in Stage 2. 4.8 The conclusion of Stage 1 will complete with Suppliers being notified in writing of whether they have been successfully shortlisted to participate in Stage 2. Suppliers not invited to Stage 2 will be formally notified that they have not been shortlisted. 4.9 Suppliers should note that the GPhC reserves the right to re-assess any response to the PSQ, in light of any new relevant information that comes to the GPhC's attention. Ongoing compliance with the Conditions of Participation will be a condition of entry into any contract with a Supplier pursuant to this procurement. Please refer to the 'Supplier eligibility' provisions in Annex 2 Conditions of Participation and Annex 3: PSQ. STAGE 2: Invitation to Submit a Tender 4.10 Stage 2 will commence with the issuing of a letter inviting Suppliers that have been successfully shortlisted to participate in stage 2, and they will be invited to submit their tenders. 4.11 Any further information that is necessary for Suppliers to submit a tender will be made available to Suppliers at this stage of the procurement. 4.12 Tenders must be submitted in accordance with the Procurement timetable and instructions set out in this document and any additional information provided. Assessment of the Supplier's quality submission and the Supplier's quality score will be calculated in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out in table in 4.33. Post Tender Clarifications 4.13 Shortlisted Tenderers will be invited to attend a Clarification Presentation. The purpose of this presentation is to allow GPhC to seek clarification on elements of the Tender that may require further explanation in order to ensure accurate understanding of the Tenderer's submission. 4.14 The Clarification Presentation is not an opportunity for Tenderers to introduce new information, modify their bid, or address any matters not already included in their submitted Tender. No new award criteria will be introduced, and no additional scores will be awarded as a direct result of the presentation. The presentation will be used solely to validate and clarify the understanding of information already provided in the written Tender. 4.15 Participation in the Clarification Presentation is mandatory for those Tenderers invited, and failure to attend will result in disqualification from the tender process. STAGE 3: Preferred Supplier Stage 4.22 The highest scoring Supplier will be invited to engage in further discussions with the GPhC as part of a preferred supplier stage. This stage will be used to finalise the draft Contract terms and conditions, in accordance with the limitations set out in the Act. It is expected that the following matters will be discussed as part of this stage, noting that the GPhC reserves the right to amend this list as required: Clarification of contractual terms and schedules; - Confirmation and refinement of deliverables, service levels, and implementation plans as already described in the Tenderer's submission; - Final alignment of legal and commercial terms, including allocation of risk, provided this does not introduce any material change to the submitted bid; - Rectification of minor errors or ambiguities in the draft contract documentation. 4.23 No changes will be permitted to the award criteria, nor will the preferred Supplier be allowed to improve, revise, or supplement its bid in a manner that could affect the evaluation outcome. Any changes agreed as part of the preferred bidder discussions must not distort competition or breach the principles of equal treatment and transparency under the Procurement Act 2023. 4.24 GPhC reserves the right to discontinue discussions with the preferred supplier and approach the next-ranked Tenderer if finalised Contract terms and conditions cannot be reached within a reasonable timeframe. 4.25 Stage 3 will end with the GPhC entering into the Contract with the preferred Supplier and publication of a Contract Details Notice on the Central Digital Platform (within 30 days of the date on which the Contract is entered into).
