Highest scoring candidates meeting the minimum selection criteria will be short-listed to tender. The Council reserves the right to award the Contract on the basis of initial tenders submitted without entering into any negotiation. Negotiation may or may not take place as part of any procurement process following on from this PIN Notice - dependent upon the acceptability of tenders returned at the second stage of the process. It is anticipated that a Competitive Procedure with Negotiation may therefore be used.
