"features": "The Authority intends to conduct the procurement in up to three stages.

However, the Authority reserves the right to make an award following evaluation of the initial tender submissions (Stage 2) where it considers that the award criteria have been satisfactorily met, without proceeding to any further stages.

The detailed steps involved in the process: The Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) Assessment of Suppliers: The PSQ is assessed based on the selection criteria within the PSQ itself.

Down Selection Process: The intention is to down select suppliers on a pass/fail basis. Only those suppliers who meet the necessary criteria will move forward to the next stage. Invitation to Tender (ITT) Shortlisted Suppliers: Once the PSQ stage is completed, the shortlisted suppliers who meet the criteria are invited to submit their full tender. Tender Documents: The full procurement documents, including requirements, specifications, and terms, are provided to the suppliers. Clarifications: Suppliers can ask questions or seek clarifications to ensure they fully understand the requirements and any flexibility involved in the process. Evaluation and Award Criteria Framework Agreement will be awarded to the bidder who submits the most advantageous tender. Evaluation will consider: Pricing and supply details for the items as specified in the tender. Responses to the Technical Questions: -Supply Chain Management - Contract Coverage - Controlling Price - Controlling Lead Times - Managing Availability - Delivery Excellence - Counterfeit Management - Obsolescence Babcock Land Defence Limited reserve the right to add further items of a similar nature to the Framework Agreement post award, following Request for Quotations (RFQ)."
