If required, the Authority reserves the right to shortlist the number of suppliers progressing from Round 1 to Round 2 of the ITT and to request a demo phase as part of the second round. The final contract award will be based on the refined award criteria, which will be communicated to suppliers during the course of the procedure. The award criteria and their relative weightings are provided in the tender documents. All communications and submissions must be made electronically via Ariba."

Direct award may be used where requirements can be met from the established pricing schedule and this represents value for money. Where requirements are more complex or where additional value is sought, a mini-competition will be conducted among capable suppliers. Evaluation criteria for mini-competitions will be consistent with those applied at framework award stage, ensuring fairness, transparency, and value for money.",
