Stage 2 - These shortlisted suppliers will progress to the second stage of the process, the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage where further technical capability will be tested along with more refined pricing. Stage 3 - Following ITT submissions and initial evaluations, feedback will be provided to all suppliers and a third stage will commence where suppliers will have the opportunity to submit a best and final offer submission which will then be used for final evaluation and scoring.
