Our intention is to evaluate responses and award up to ten Framework Agreements in each Lot, which will be ranked based on quality and commercial responses to the ITT. Our intention is to shortlist up to shortlist of up to 30 potential suppliers from this PSQ stage, to be invited to engage the ITT stage. As the result of the ITT stage, we are aiming to make awards to a ceiling of 20 potential suppliers planned as Lot 1 (= 10), Lot 2 (= 10). We reserve the option in this PSQ stage to add an additional 3 potential suppliers to each Lot (+6) if their total sum of scores to PSQ responses 3.8.1-3.8.4 score is within 5% of the planned ceiling number, in each Lot. In the event more than 3 potential Suppliers are within 5% in a Lot, the decision will fall to highest scoring response to Q3.8.1 and so on. This PSQ (Procurement Specific Questionnaire) is released with a draft copy of the Invitation to Tender. Only those potential suppliers who meet the PSQ requirements and are confirmed by us in writing, will be progressed to the next stage - Tender stage). Upon receipt of ITT proposals, our intention is award 20 Framework Agreements based on quality and commercial responses to the ITT. Subsequently, we will use the appointed Suppliers with framework agreements to be eligible to be invited for Call-off opportunities under the frameworks. The Call Off documents will inform the specific needs for the location and task. The process of appointment will be based on either * Mini Competition (with specific responses to the Call Off documents), or * Direct Award. Details of the Call-Off appointment arrangements, will be included in the Invitation to Tender documents. There is no guarantee of work.
