            "features": "This Procurement Exercise shall be conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, Competitive Flexible Procedure and responses will be assessed in accordance with the Act. The Procurement Exercise shall be conducted in several stages: Stage 1: Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) 1A - PQQ written responses 1B Engagement Request written responses Stage 2: Invitation to Tender (ITT): 2A - ITT written responses 2B - ITT Bidder Interviews 2C - Best and Final Offer (BAFO) Stage 3: Contract Award Stage 1: Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) The purpose of this stage is to seek information by means of targeted questions to understand the Bidders capability, capacity and experience that relate to the different aspects of Anglian Water requirements (as more fully detailed in the Scope documents). The PQQ questions and documentation are stored within the online e-sourcing system. Bidders are required to complete and return the PQQ response in accordance with the timescales set out in section 2.2 below. The e-sourcing system will not allow submissions to be sent after the deadline. Please note that failure to complete and submit the PQQ in accordance with the timescales set will result in Anglian Water excluding the Bidder from the Procurement Exercise. The Engagement Request stage is designed to assess and understand how Bidders manage ethics and comply with legislation. The Engagement request will provide access to Anglian Water's compliance questionnaires which include Modern Slavery, Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Sanctions, Insurance, GDPR and Cyber Security. Cyber Security must be completed only by Bidders interested in Lot 4 and Lot 5. The Engagement Request notice will be sent to all Bidders who have finalised and submitted their PQQ written response. It will be evaluated with PQQ Stage 1A. Sub-Lotting As per section 1.4, this Procurement Exercise uses both Lots and sitting under Lots 1, 2 and 3, are multiple Sub-Lots. Suppliers bidding for a main Lot e.g. Lot 1 will answer all the questions related to the Lot and, if successfully appointed, will be eligible to provide services across all the Sub-Lots within that Lot (e.g. Lots 1a, 1b and 1c). Those suppliers that wish to bid for a specific Sub-Lot, should only answer the questions relevant to that specific Sub Lot. Appendix O lays out the questions that are relevant to each Sub Lot. Should a Bidder for a main Lot (Lots 1, 2 & 3) fail to achieve the total minimum threshold score for the main Lot, its submission will be reassessed against the relevant Sub-Lot scoring criteria to determine whether it meets the applicable minimum threshold for a specific Sub-Lot. The original bid submission will not be changed or amended as part of this reassessment. Short-listing Responses will be evaluated by Anglian Water and only Bidders notified that they have been short-listed to progress to the next stage should complete the ITT. Bidder PQQ responses will be evaluated by Anglian Water against pre-defined scoring criteria detailed in Section The final number of suppliers awarded to the Framework and its Lots/Sub-Lots are in Section 1.4. Stage 2: Invitation to Tender (ITT) The ITT is designed to enable Anglian Water to assess and understand how a Bidder intends to deliver the requirements to Anglian Water and the associated costs. It is the Bidders opportunity to make a formal proposal and potentially be selected to supply Anglian Water's requirements. The ITT process will be divided into 3 stages, as outlined below. Anglian Water will shortlist once each stage has been completed. Non-Commercial Percentage Commercial Percentage Stage 2A Written Submission 70%, of which ESG will be 10% 30% Stage 2B Bidder Interview Up to 30% Stage 2C BAFO N/A Re-evaluation of the commercial score The interview score will be added on to the ITT Written Submission. The maximum score available will exceed 100% for Lots and Sub-Lots for which an interview stage is held. For example, A Bidder achieves a score of 90% on the Written Submission and 20% at the Bidder Interview will achieve a score of 110%. Stage 2A - Written Submissions The written submission provides a comprehensive response to the requirements, detailing the Bidder's proposed solution, relevant experience, commercial offering, and compliance with all tender requirements. It is designed to demonstrate capability, value for money, and the ability to successfully deliver the requirements set out in the Scopes. Stage 2B - Bidder Interviews The interview stage is focussed on key personnel to deliver the contract. The purpose is to enable Anglian Water to assess the experience, expertise and suitability of proposed team members, together with their understanding of the contract responsibilities and roles in delivering the services. Bidders should ensure those expected to play significant roles in contract delivery attend the interview. Further details of the interview format and arrangements will be provided to shortlisted Bidders. Following evaluation of the written ITT, Anglian Water may limit the number of Bidders invited to attend the interview stage. Any shortlisting will be undertaken in accordance with the evaluation methodology and any minimum requirements or ranking criteria detailed within the procurement documents. The interview stage will form part of the overall award assessment, with the applicable weighting being specified for each Lot. Interview scores will be combined with the relevant written submission scores to determine the final evaluation outcome. Where Anglian Water determines that one or more Bidders invited to interview do not meet the required standard, Anglian Water reserves the right to invite additional Bidders to participate in the interview stage from those not initially shortlisted. Any such invitations will be made in accordance with the original evaluation results and the methodology set out in the procurement documents. Weighting Lot 1 20-30% Lot 2 10-20% Lot 3 20-30% Lot 4 10-20% Lot 5 10-20% Anglian Water reserves the right not to undertake the interview stage for one or more Lots and Sub-Lots. This decision will be communicated at the ITT stage. Stage 2C - Best and Final Offer (BAFO) The BAFO stage is where shortlisted Bidders are invited to submit their final commercial and/or non-commercial offering after negotiations, clarifications, or initial bid evaluations have taken place.
