AWC Procurement will manage the tender process, which will be carried out in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The process will not make use of an electronic auction. The Client reserves the right at its absolute discretion throughout the procurement process: 1. to amend and refine the award criteria, 2. to amend and refine the proposed procurement procedure prior to issuing the ITN, and 3. not to proceed with a contract award. Following the evaluation of the PQQ responses, the Client will shortlist the applicants it will invite to tender in accordance with the terms of the PQQ. The Client reserves the right to limit the number of applicants that are invited to tender to a maximum of five (5) applicants. Only applicants that score a \"pass\" for all non-qualitatively scored questions in the PQQ (outlined within tab 5 to 7 within the PQQ questionnaire) will be considered and Applicants will then be ranked in order of highest to lowest score. The Client reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to invite more applicants into the ITN process if there is a tie in the scores between two (2) or more applicants for the final place. Those tenderers shortlisted from the PQQ stage will be invited to submit a proposal based on the ITN. Submissions will be evaluated during the ITN stage, allowing internal teams to select the most advantageous tender (MAT) based on both qualitative and cost evaluations, including final contract negotiations. All shortlisted tenderers will be taken to a presentation stage to demonstrate their confidence in delivery. The procurement timeline will be published and aimed at appointing the shortlisted supplier by 3rd August 2026 to allow time for mobilisation, with the contract start date set for 3rd September 2026. The existing suite of First Group systems (e,g, WAX Portal) will support the process, ensuring full transparency and auditability in accordance with the new Procurement Act 2023. Details on the T&Cs and the extent/nature of dialogue / negotiation during the process will be provided to down-selected bidders only during the ITN stage."
