Questions – please submit your responses via the EU Supply messaging system:
1) The Council are looking to procure a contract for an initial period of 5 years, plus a 3 year extension. Please make your observations.
2) We are discussing the potential to procure as one contract, or 2 Lots, or breaking down further in multiple lots:
a) it is intended that the procurement will be conducted under the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation to allow for initial bids to be submitted that are capable of being accepted but may allow for further stages and short-listings, if required, up and to the point of requesting a ‘best and final offer’ once requirements have been thoroughly discussed and refined. Please make you observations on this approach.
b) We are considering a contracting strategy of splitting the procurement into 2 geographical areas within Camden. Please see below and make observations and preferences including preference for one large contract:
- North and South Camden
- East and West Camden
3) If we were to divide the contract into functional areas please comment on how you would foresee this working for you and what specific scopes of works would be of interest?
4) We are looking at tendering using scoring weighting of Price (70): Quality (30). Please make any observations and comments.
