Competitive flexible procedure
Competitive flexible procedure description
The service is being procured through a competitive flexible procedure, consisting of two stages, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023.
The first stage requires all interested organisations to complete and submit the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ), this includes questions on the tenderer's relevant experience. PSQs will then be evaluated by the Council to determine which organisations will be shortlisted and invited through to the second stage.
Interested organisations should complete and submit the PSQ during the first stage only and await the Council's evaluation and shortlist before continuing.
The Council will notify unsuccessful bidders who will not be invited to the second stage and the successful bidders who will be invited to the second stage of the procurement The words and expressions contained in this ITT have the same meaning that is given to them in the Conditions of Contract and the Service Specification.
The Conditions of Contract to be used will be the Council's Conditions of Contract, a copy of which is included in the tender pack.
1The contract will be between the successful Tenderer and the Council for the period of 4 years, with an option to extend by one year at the sole discretion of the Council. At every 12-month anniversary of the commencement of the contract, the Council has at its sole discretion the option of terminating the Agreement. If it wishes to exercise this option, the Council must give the Consultant notice in writing of the Council's decision to do so at least two months before the anniversary on which the Council wishes the contract to terminate.
Tenderers will need to meet the requirements of the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) and obtain a total minimum score of 7 for each question under section 22, Part 3 of the PSQ, in order to be invited to stage 2 of this process. Tenderers who pass Stage 1 will be invited to provide a full tender submission as part of Stage 2.
A maximum of 5 tenderers that meet the Stage 1 threshold will be invited to submit a tender for stage 2.
If more than 5 tenderers meet the threshold, only the 5 tenderers with the highest combined scores to questions 'A' and 'B' will progress to Stage 2.
In the event of a tie for the final place(s), the first tie-breaker will be the highest score for "1. Your role and the relevance of the project or programme" for question 'B'.
If still tied, the second tie-breaker will be the highest score for "2. The complexity and scale of the example provided" for question 'B'.
If there is still a tie after applying both tie-breakers, all submissions tied at that point will progress to Stage 2, even if this results in more than 5 tenderers being invited.
