The documentation published with this opportunity describes how the procurement will be conducted, including details of the associated procurement timetable and award criteria (for both participation and tender) and how to respond to this opportunity. Suppliers are strongly encouraged to read the documentation provided on The Chest, including the appendices and all other documentation published as part of this Invitation to Participate and Invitation to Tender (draft) before preparing their submission. Failure to comply with the information in the documentation may result in exclusion from the Procurement and/or the rejection of any submission. The process comprises an initial Invitation to Participate (ITP) stage which will require applicants to complete a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ), containing both pass/fail and scored elements. Applicants will be ranked using the award criteria provided in the ITP and the highest scoring applicants for each individual Lot will be shortlisted. Shortlisted applicants will then be invited to an Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage which includes at least 1no. dialogue session/period. Following conclusion of the dialogue session/period, the ITT may be amended accordingly in line with the documentation forming this procurement exercise and any applicable procurement law (as previously highlighted). A final revised tender will then be sent out to those bidders shortlisted from Stage 1. If applicants do not meet the requirements of the PSQ and/or are not shortlisted at Stage 1, they will not be invited to dialogue sessions or to provide a submission at final revised tender stage and will be notified that they have been unsuccessful as soon as practically possible after Stage 1 (ITP) has concluded."
