The following process will be followed: 1. Railway Industry Supplier Qualification System Opportunity Listing (completed) The tender has been made available to the market via the RISQS portal. Only suppliers, who have registered their interest through the Opportunity Listing and meet the relevant category criteria, set out in the Opportunity Listing, will be invited to tender. Suppliers, who are not members of RISQS and / or are not registered against the relevant category, will be excluded from progressing as part of the procedure. 2. Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) All suppliers will be required to submit a completed PSQ, which will be assessed on a Pass / Fail basis. The Conditions of Participation, set out in the PSQ, are not going to be used to limit the number of tenderers. 3. Invitation to Tender Stage Bidders, who have been awarded a \"Pass\" to the PSQ, will have their technical response and commercial (price) submission evaluated. Following the evaluation of Tenders, TfL reserves the right to either award the contract to the highest ranked bidder, on the basis of the tenders received as part of this stage, without negotiation, or proceed to negotiation stage with all bidders. 4. Negotiation Stage TfL may elect to hold one or more rounds of negotiations, following the receipt and the evaluation of the tenders. If TfL proceeds to the negotiation stage, it will conduct negotiations with all bidders that have submitted compliant tenders and satisfied the technical response requirements. The objective of these negotiations is to allow bidders to improve the content of their tenders and further develop their best solution for supply of labour for welding and grinding. 5. Final Tender Stage If TfL elects to negotiate with bidders, then at the conclusion of the negotiation stage, bidders will be invited to submit final tender on the basis of the solution, as proposed and discussed in negotiations. 6. Contract Award Following the evaluation of the final tenders in accordance with the evaluation criteria and scoring guidance, TfL will rank the bidders' responses and award the contract to the highest ranked bidder. If no negotiation stage has been used, the contract will be awarded to the highest ranked bidder, following the completion of the evaluation of the tenders. 7. Post-tender Presentation / Interview TfL reserves the right to invite the highest ranked bidder or any bidder to deliver a presentation or attend an interview on their final tender and explain any areas of improvements that have not been discussed during the negotiation stage or need to be clarified."
