Such tender is made up of both assessment criteria (evaluated prior to award criteria) and award criteria (quality submissions and pricing submission based on a Price List). Compliant tenders will have their assessment criteria submissions reviewed against the pass/fail criteria. Only tenders which pass all of the assessment criteria will have their quality and price submissions evaluated against the award criteria. The Clients intention is to award a contract at the end of this stage. However, rights are reserved to progress to an optional negotiation and / or BAFO stage if needed. 2) Negotiation (optional). If needed, one round of structured negotiation to clarify and improve offers. This stage may be with a reduced number of bidders. 3) Best and Final Offers (BAFO) (optional). This stage may be with a reduced number of bidders. If a negotiation and / or BAFO stage is required, the initial award criteria set out will be used to evaluate amended / updated tenders."
