STAGE 2 - Dialogue (Optional) The purpose of Stage 2 is to improve all parties understanding of the requirement, therefore all Suppliers that are invited to Stage 2 will also be invited to Stage 3, and: * Should a Supplier withdraw or be removed from the procurement process after being invited to Stage 2 - the Council reserves the right (but shall not be obliged) to invite the next highest scoring Assessed Tender from Stage 1. * The Council reserves the right to update the tender documents, following Stage 2, however the Award Criteria shall remain the same for the Intermediate Assessment and Final Assessment. * Suppliers are responsible for maintaining the availability of key personnel to attend the Dialogue meeting(s) as per the procurement timeline, which could be in person meetings with the Council, at a Council site. The specific time/date for Dialogue meetings for your organisation will be included in your invitation to Stage 2. STAGE 3 - Best and Final Offer (Optional) Suppliers will be invited to re-submit their Submission as part of Stage 3 and the Council will assess the Submission(s) received against the Award Criteria to determine the Most Advantageous Tender as the Final Assessment.. STAGE 4 - Preferred Supplier Stage (Optional) Preferred Supplier stage is for clarifying or confirming commitments made in the tender or limited post-tender negotiation. Please note: The terms of this procurement procedure can be modified up until the 'Deadline for Stage 1 Submissions' set out in section 3 of the indicative timeline and as per section 31(1)(b) of the Act. In which case the Council will notify Suppliers via the E-tendering Portal at the earliest opportunity and explain changes (if any) to the indicative timeline, number of stages and the number of Suppliers to be selected at any stage."
