"features": "This procurement is subject to all necessary funding and approvals being obtained. Radius Housing reserves the right to discontinue the procurement process at any stage. The appointment of a developer as a successful tenderer is not a guarantee by Radius Housing of the development commencing. The contract is estimated to be above the threshold were the Procurement Act 2023 applies. The Procurement method to be utilised is Competitive Flexible Procedure as set out at Regulation 20(2(b)) of The Procurement Act 2023 (the Act or PA23). This Competitive Flexible shall consist of a number of stages outlined below and explained in further detail throughout this document and in subsequent documents as the procurement exercise will progress: STAGE 1: Conditions of Participation (CoP) & Tender Stage This Competitive Flexible shall consist of an initial stage where tenderers will submit their Conditions of Participation, and their quality and cost (Award Stage) offer. The Contracting Authority may award the procurement competition to the Most Advantageous Tender after the assessment of this initial stage. STAGE 2: Clarification, Refinement and Negotiation Stage (Optional) At Radius' sole discretion further tender stages may be carried out in order to best reflect any clarifications, changes in housing mix, planning conditions, specifications or for any other reason. STAGE 3: Post Tender Negotiation (Optional) The Contracting Authority may award the procurement competition to the Most Advantageous Tender / Lowest Acceptable Cost after the assessment of either Stage 1 or Stage 2. The Contracting Authority also reserves the right at its sole discretion following the completion of the evaluation of all responses and the identification of the Most Advantageous Tender / Lowest Acceptable Cost Offer according to the award criteria to enter dialogue with the most advantageous tenderer in order to refine elements of the contract, service, specification, social value offer, sustainability and or cost prior to the execution of the contract. Nothing stated in this ITT or during the Competition is or shall be relied on as a promise or representation as to the future or a commitment by the Authority to award or enter into any contract. The Association reserves the right to not award to the lowest or any tender or to discontinue this Procurement Competition at any time. Radius have considered the use of Lots for this contract but do not believe the use of Lots are suitable. Radius intend to award up to 5 contracts from this Procurement competition. Due to the nature of the requirement contracts may progress towards completion at different times and may not follow the tender ranking."
