Having reviewed the Tender Notice, all Applicants wishing to participate in the Major Projects Framework competition will need to demonstrate in their submissions that they meet the Conditions of Participation set out in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire Pack (PSQ Pack) and complete a Non-Disclosure/Confidentiality Agreement. Applications will be submitted via the contracting authority's portal as described in the PSQ Pack - Part 1 Instructions to Applicants. The contracting authority will assess the Applicant's submissions and be shortlisted based on several pass/fail questions on financial standing, insurances, health and safety etc along with 4 scored questions. The weighting of the scored questions is listed below; Core Capability 55% Supply Chain 15% Health, Safety & Wellbeing 15% Environmental & Sustainability 15% Scored submissions will be ranked from highest to lowest and, subject to the procedure set out in the PSQ Pack, the contracting authority intends to invite the Applicants of the top ten (10) highest scoring compliant submissions to tender for the Major Projects Framework AMP8/9. Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) Stage The contracting authority will share with the shortlisted Applicants an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) against which such Applicants will be invited to submit a tender. Tender submissions will be evaluated in accordance with the objective criteria set out in the ITN. Technical Questions will be made available at ITN Stage and will follow the question themes and weightings below: * Pre-Construction and Programme Delivery (35%) * Delivery, Risk and Commercial Management (20%) * Organisation, Collaboration and Behaviours (15%) * Health, Safety, Wellbeing and Sustainability (20%) * Innovation and Continuous Improvement (10%) Negotiation Stage The contracting authority may engage in negotiations with tenderers as set out further in the ITN. Records of any negotiations and agreements reached will be kept by the contracting authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the contracting authority reserves the right to award the framework without any negotiation, on the basis of the most advantageous tenders submitted at the ITN Stage. Following any negotiation stage, the contracting authority also reserves the right to invite tenderers to submit an updated tender, as explained further in the ITN. Following the submission of any BAFO's updated tenders, the contracting authority will complete the tender evaluation process and award places on the Major Project Framework Agreement to up to eight (8) most advantageous tenders in accordance with the objective criteria set out in the ITN."
