"features": "The document for this tender notice, including the Instructions to Tenderers, can be accessed via the following link: https://ukpowernetworks.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/ProcurementDocumentManagement/IgCdDdES_9S9T6JBHwaxANzwAbM-xPyC0uv1hm_w46BrMSM High Level Information: The event will comprise of 2 stages as detailed below: Stage 1 - Condition of Participation Assessment - There are 31 questions within Appendix 1 - Procurement Specific Questionnaire, with a pass / fail evaluation method. Tenderers are required to provide their responses to these questions as set out in Appendix 1. Following the assessment of Stage 1, the shortlisted tenderers will be invited to take part in the RFP Event which will be conducted in UK Power Networks' Procurement Sourcing Platform. Stage 2 - Balanced Scorecard Assessment - This stage is split into 3 substages. Substage 2.1 - Assessment of written response to 35 Technical Questions. The questions will be scored on a scale of 0-10 (as further detailed within the ITT document). The Criteria Weighting for this substage is 60%. Substage 2.2 - Commercial Assessment of Pricing Schedule. Tenderers are required to complete Appendix 5 as part of their tender response. All pricing will be evaluated with the overall lowest priced bid receiving the maximum score, with all remaining bids recorded as a descending percentage based on the delta to the lowest score. The weighting for this stage is 40%. Substage 2.3 - Negotiation, BAFO, and Final Submissions. A technical carryover from substage 2.1 (60%), a commercial assessment of the BAFO - best and final offer (40%), and acceptance of the final version of the UK Power Networks T&Cs. Draft Agreement and Final Contract - UK Power Networks has provided a Draft Agreement as part of the RfP pack. UK Power Networks does not envisage any changes to the Draft Agreement. All tenderers MUST confirm their acceptance of this Draft Agreement as part of their tender submission and provide a price which reflects the unamended Draft Agreement. This will be considered by UK Power Networks as the tenderer's Main Submission. If a tenderer cannot confirm acceptance of the unamended Draft Agreement because it believes that amendments to the Draft Agreement would contribute to an improvement in any of the following areas: * safety; * availability of resources; * flexibility or reliability of the service; * cost efficiency; or * improved methods of working, then a tenderer may propose suitable amendments by providing a marked-up copy of the Draft Agreement in Microsoft Word along with a price which reflects these amended terms. This will be named the \"Alternative Submission\". All proposed amendments in an Alternative Submission must clearly be shown in 'tracked changes' with a related explanation made as a 'comment' and is to be submitted as part of the Stage 2 response to this RfP via Procurement Sourcing Platform. UK Power Networks will decide, at its sole discretion, whether any proposed amendment to the Draft Agreement will be accepted. Where UK Power Networks accepts amendments to the Draft Agreement (which it is not obliged to do) it shall re-issue a single form of final Agreement to all tenderers taking into account those proposed amendments from tenderers which have been accepted by UK Power Networks. Tenderers must accept this re-issued final Agreement to be awarded a contract. Tenderers must confirm their pricing based on this re-issued final agreement."
