seven.2) Other additional information
The Authority wishes to notify prospective tenderers that it is republishing the Invitation to Tender originally published on 17 March 2023. The amendments mainly concern the pricing model elements of the tender, in particular the ability of tenderers to use pricing for meters that are equivalent to the stated models within the pricing model where such models form part of their proposed solution. This is to ensure that tenderers are able to align their pricing with the Specification (which provides that tenderers' solutions can include equivalent meters) and accordingly better optimise their pricing to provide a solution that provides the best value for money for the Authority.
The Authority recognises that tenderers may wish to amend their tenders in light of this amendment and for this reason has extended the Tender Deadline to 02 June 2023. To the extent that a tenderer might already have submitted a tender prior to this notification, it may resubmit its tender in the light of this notification, should it wish to do so, prior to the new Tender Deadline.
The Authority again thanks tenderers for their hard work during this procurement and hopes that this amendment will assist them in constructing the optimum tender possible.
