"features": "Stage 1 - Preliminary Check- Verification that the submission is complete and compliant with the instructions in this Invitation to Tender. Stage 2 -Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ), Conditions of Participation Assessment (COP) and Financial Assessment Checks Pass and Fail review of Procurement Specific Questions and ensure the Supplier satisfies the criteria outlined in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire including Mandatory and Discretionary Exclusion Grounds. Those who fail any of the COP/ PSQ Questions, will not be taken through to the technical quality assessment. Suppliers will be notified at this point if they have passed/failed. Stage 3 Technical Quality Assessment - Completion of independent quality evaluation by the Panel and Moderation. Only the 3 highest scoring suppliers within the Technical Quality assessment will advance to stage 4. Suppliers will be notified at this point if they have been successful/ unsuccessful with feedback provided for those who are unsuccessful. Minimum Scoring Threshold: The minimum quality requirement for this tender is to reach a Total Quality Mark equal to or above 50% of the total available quality marks of 50%. Therefore the minimum quality threshold for this tender is 25% and above. This Minimum Quality Threshold test will be applied to the Total Final Quality Score for each Supplier. The Authority reserve the right to amend the minimum quality threshold by a maximum of 5% (therefore amending to a potential of 20%), in the case that we do not have 3 bidders that successfully qualify for stage 4 demonstration assessment. Those who do not meet the minimum scoring threshold, will not advance past Stage 3 of the Procurement process. Stage 4 - Demonstration Assessment- Completion of face-to-face demonstrations for the 3 bidders who have scored the highest within the Technical Quality assessment. During this stage bidders will be asked to prepare a demonstration of their proposed system against 3 scenarios. Stage 5 - Commercial (Price) Assessment - Assessment of Commercial submission. Stage 6 - Total Score & Ranking - Final Quality Score and Commercial Score are combined and Bids ranked to identify the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT). Stage 7 - Notification & Due Diligence - Notification of the tender outcome and due diligence checks completed with successful supplier prior to entering into contract."
