COMPETITIVE PROCEDURE WITH NEGOTIATION EXPLANATION -Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) this is a two-stage procedure run along the same lines as a Restricted procedure. This requires interested parties to complete a pre-qualification stage by submitting a Single Procurement Document (SPD) before being invited to submit a tender. This down selection process allows us to limit the number of parties receiving the full tender and moving forward to the negotiation phase(s). Under CPN tenders are submitted from down selected suppliers and are then subject to evaluation and negotiation and then re-submitted to finalise positions and allow selection of a preferred bidder. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 5583. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason: There is not a likelihood of a subcontractor being used within this procurement. The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason: A Community Benefit (CB) clause has not been included within the ITT documents as a clause is considered not to be relative and /or proportionate to the nature of the service to be required.
