Initial Tender submissions: This initial stage involves issuing the CFP - ISIT and PSQ to potential suppliers. Suppliers are invited to submit initial formal bids based on the specification. This will include detailed proposals (100% quality) and confirmation that their solution is within budget. 2. Initial Tender evaluation: Submitted CFP ISIT's and PSQ's will be evaluated against predefined criteria such as Suitability, experience, financial standing, compliance with quality, innovation.

Shortlisting of Bidders: Following the evaluation of all complaint bids, the Authority will shortlist the highest scoring bidders to proceed to the next stage of this Competitive Flexible Procedure. Specifically, the three (3) top-ranked bidders, based on the total scores awarded during the evaluation of the CFP - ISIT stage, will be invited to participate in the subsequent stages of the competitive flexible procedure. The evaluation of the shortlisted bidder (stage two) will consist of different elements to include the pricing and quality proposals detailed in stage two. This will be based on 60% quality (trial of solution) and 40% price (Appendix 9 Financial Submission). The rankings of stage two will be the basis for contract award. 4. Pricing: Bidders need to confirm that they can provide the solution within budget as part of the ISIT (Q27 Cost Strategy - Budget).
