"features": "Stage 1: Invitation to Participate & Conditions of Participation This stage begins with the issuing of a Tender Notice. Suppliers who have expressed interest will be invited to complete a Conditions of Participation questionnaire and submit their tenders. The assessment of these responses will identify the top 5 number of suppliers to be invited to participate in Stage 2. Stage 2: Invitation to Submit Initial Tenders Suppliers who were shortlisted at Stage 1 will be invited to Stage 2 to submit their tenders. All tenders must be submitted in line with the Procurement Timetable and instructions contained in this document and any supplementary information provided. After the tender deadline, NWL will assess all submissions using the process and award criteria outlined in the Tender Notice and this document. Stage 3: Invitation to submit a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) Stage 3 will commence with the issuing of a notification requesting bidders to submit their Best and Final Offers. Best and Final offers must be submitted in accordance with the Procurement Timetable and instructions set out in this document and any additional information provided. NWL will also consider whether any supplier (or associated entities relied upon to meet participation conditions) is an excluded or excludable supplier under the Act. If a supplier is excludable solely due to an associated supplier or subcontractor, NWL will notify them and provide a reasonable opportunity to replace that entity. If NWL subsequently disregards a tender due to exclusion, or an associated entity is replaced, NWL will notify the Procurement Review Unit (PRU) within 30 days. NWL will identify the most advantageous tender(s) in line with the stated methodology and disregard any tender from suppliers not meeting the Conditions of Participation. This assessment will identify the supplier(s) successful in each Lot. Following this assessment, NWL will provide an assessment summary to all suppliers who submitted a tender including: * whether they have been awarded the contract, * an explanation of how their tender was assessed against the award criteria, and * information about the most advantageous tender where this differs from their own. A Contract Award Notice will then be published on the Central Digital Platform to commence the mandatory standstill period. Once the standstill period concludes, NWL will enter the preferred supplier stage with the selected supplier. Stage 3: Preferred Supplier Stage The highest scoring supplier(s) will be invited to engage with NWL to finalise the draft contract terms, within the limitations of the Act. This stage concludes with NWL entering into the contract with the preferred supplier."
