"features": "Stage 1 - Initial Tender Stage Invitation to participate in this procurement process and submit a tender response for the initial evaluation. The evaluation will comprise of: * Compliance Check * Excluded and Excludable Tenderers * Assessment of Conditions of Participation * Mandatory Criteria (Pass/Fail) * Initial evaluation of the Award Criteria (Quality 60%, Social Value 10%, Price 30%) Tender submissions must achieve a total score of over 90 out of a maximum score available of 180 for Quality, in order to progress to stage two. Any tender submissions that score 90 or less will not progress further and will not be invited to take part in stage two of this procurement process. A maximum of four tenderers, who have achieved the highest overall combined score for Quality, Social Value and Price and have achieved a score of over 90 out of the available 180 for Quality, will be invited to participate in stage 2. Stage 2 - Best and Final Offers (BAFO) Tenderers who have been successfully shortlisted at Stage One, will be invited to attend a dialogue meeting. The meetings will take place on the 21st and 22nd May 2026. During the meeting the Authority will discuss the Initial tender submissions, with the relevant tenderers, in order to improve the content of that Tender. Note: The Authority will not negotiate the Minimum Requirements as set out in ITT Part 1 Statement of Requirements, ITT Part 5 Terms and Conditions of Contract or the Data Processing Contract Appendix F in ITT Part 1 Statement of Requirements. Following conclusion of the dialogue meetings, tenderers will be invited to submit their Best and Final Offers (\"BAFO\"). The authority will determine the Most Advantageous Tender (\"MAT\") by applying the Award Criteria to the final tenders recieved. Following evaluation of BAFOs, the Authority will identify the 'Preferred Tenderer' as the tenderer who has achieved the highest overall total score for Quality, Social Value and Price based on the Award Criteria (Quality 60%, Social Value 10%, Price 30%). Stage 3 - Preferred Tenderer Stage Prior to any Contract Award the Authority will undertake due diligence on the Preferred tenderer, including request for required certification and evidence. The Authority reserves the right to exclude the 'Preferred Tenderer', where they fail to satisfy any areas of due diligence and commence due diligence with the next highest ranked Tenderer."
