The top 4 bids will advance to stage 2. * Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT): Shortlisted Participants will be invited to submit a tender. This process will be a single-stage tender process requiring a price and quality submission in a format specified by Anchor, along with a presentation brief. The draft ITT documents are included within this document pack. All bidders should complete both the PSQ and ITT packs and submit both by the closing date, Anchor will evaluate all of the PSQ bids initially and only the lead 4 bids from PSQ will be scored at ITT. The highest scoring bid from stage 2 will be awarded the tender. This notice replaces the previous notice which was an Open Procedure.
