The Down Selection Criteria will be applied to all Bidders that pass Stage 1 and Stage 2 to reduce the number of Bidders that are invited to participate in Dialogue using Part V (Reduction of the number of qualified candidates) of the ESPD. For the avoidance of doubt there is no need for bidders to provide any additional information for question 5.1 to enable down-selection. It is the Scottish Ministers' intention that the 4 Bidders achieving the highest scores will be invited to participate in Dialogue. In the event of a tie for fourth shortlisted place, the Bidder with the highest score for Case Study 1 (Next Generation Access) out of the Bidders in the tie, will be invited to Dialogue."
