"features": "The Council will use the Competitive Flexible Procedure for this exercise. The Council intends to follow the process and stages outlined below but reserves the right to amend the Competitive Flexible Procedure at subsequent stages within the procurement process. Stage 1 - Applicants are to complete and return the Procurement Specific Questionnaire. The initial submissions will be used for the shortlisting of Applicants. The Council will invite the top four* ranked Applicants to the next stage of the procurement process. *The Council reserves the right to invite more Applicants where there is a negligible difference in the scores between the 4th applicant and the next placed applicant(s) or to invite less applicants where it feels that the quality of submissions is insufficient to warrant inclusion in the next stage. Stages 2 and 3 - Upon completion of Stage 1, the shortlisted Applicants shall be invited to attend a meeting with the Council and designated representatives of the Project Team for the purpose of reviewing and discussing the Contract Terms and Conditions, specifically identifying amendments that would enhance mutual commercial advantage, while maintaining appropriate risk allocation and management. Following completion of these meetings, an updated Contract will be drafted and issued as part of the Invitation to Submit Final Tender Stage (ISFTS - Stage 3). Please note that as part of this Stage, a new Invitation to Tender document for this stage will be provided and will include, but not be limited to, a final specification (in the form of RIBA Stage 4 documentation), the Award Stage Quality Questions (including Social Value) and a Pricing Schedule. The evaluation criteria and questions will be bespoke to this ITSFT stage and will be included in the ITSFT document. The evaluation criteria for the ITSFT stage will differ from those identified in the UK4 Tender notice for Stage 1. Stage 4 - Provisional Stage Upon receipt of final tender submissions at Stage 3, the Council reserve the right to compile acceptable Value Engineering proposals into a schedule. This schedule shall be issued to the Applicants for the purpose of assigning costs / savings to each item. The resulting costs / savings shall be incorporated into the final cost assessment as part of the overall evaluation process. Any adjustments to the Competitive Flexible Procedure will be specified within the tender documents at the relevant procurement stage. The Council reserves the right to amend and refine the award criteria at subsequent stages of the procurement process. Any changes will be communicated to tenderers during the relevant stage of the procurement process."

"submissionMethodDetails": "Tender documentation is available via the \"WARWICKSHIRE\" portal at https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/midlands/home. Your tender return must be submitted via the e-tendering portal. You will not be able to upload your tender after the deadline. Applicants are advised that if their tender response (including any associated documentation) is only partially uploaded within the e-tendering portal by the closing date and time then the system will lock them out and they will not be able to complete their document upload. The Council reserves the right to only evaluate documents received within the e-tendering portal by the closing date and time and applicants are advised that a partial upload is unlikely to be successful. Applicants are therefore recommended to upload their full tender response well in advance of the closing date and time. If you are experiencing any difficulties with your upload you must contact the Council well in advance of the closing date and time.",
