"features": "This tender is being carried out utilising the Competitive Flexible Procedures and will consist of a 2 (two) stage process. Stage 1 - Initial Assessment At stage 1, tenders will be evaluated against the criteria set out below for Quality, Price and Social Value. Following the completion of the Stage 1 evaluation, each Tenderer's combined score for price, quality and social value will be added together to determine each Tenderer's total score for this stage. Following the evaluation of the Stage 1 responses, believe housing will shortlist the tenderers who we intend to invite to Evaluation Stage 2. Believe housing reserves the right to limit the number of Applicants that are invited to Stage 2, to a maximum of four tenderers, who achieve the highest total overall score for Stage 1. Believe housing reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to invite more tenderers to Stage 2, if there is a tie in the scores between two or more tenderers for the 4th overall highest scores. Stage 2 - Presentations/Interview Following evaluation of Stage 1, believe housing will invite the highest scoring tenderers (as detailed above) to the presentation/interview stage. The content of the interview/presentation will be confirmed in the invite and will be based on the content of believe housing's specification and requirements. Overall Tender Scores and Award Methodology Following the completion of both evaluation stages 1 and 2, believe housing will utilise a cumulative scoring model, to identify the Most Advantageous Tender. The cumulative scoring model will be based on: * Stage 1 (Initial Assessment) - 80% * Stage 2 (Presentation/Interview) - 20% The final score awarded to each tenderer shall be the total aggregate scores across both stages."
