For non-OEM bidders, it is a requirement that they will negotiate a TSSSA-style agreement with the associated OEM in order to submit a complete response. The stages are intended to be: * Conditions of participation; * Tender stage (consisting of clarification and evaluation and negotiation substages); * Award stage; * Mobilisation stage.
