Stage 1 - Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ): Suppliers will be required to complete a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) comprising mandatory pass/fail requirements and scored technical questions designed to assess organisational capability, relevant experience, technical competence, resources and capacity to deliver the required services. Following evaluation, the Authority intends to shortlist up to five highest-scoring compliant suppliers to progress to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage. The Authority reserves the right to shortlist more or fewer suppliers where this is considered appropriate to maintain effective competition and achieve the most advantageous outcome. Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT): Shortlisted suppliers will be invited to submit a detailed tender response, including responses to quality and social value questions together with a commercial submission. Final tenders will be evaluated on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT), taking account of quality, social value and price in accordance with the published evaluation methodology. As part of the final tender evaluation, shortlisted Tenderers will be required to participate in a scored bidder presentation and interview. The presentation will assess the Tenderer's approach to collaborative working, communication, quality assurance and the delivery of Clerk of Works services. Full details of the presentation requirements, evaluation criteria and scoring methodology will be included within the Invitation to Tender documentation. The Authority reserves the right to seek clarification of submissions at any stage of the procurement where this can be undertaken fairly, transparently and without distorting competition."
