seven.2) Other additional information
We have received requests from potential suppliers to extend the timeframe for the submission of tender responses. We have considered these requests and have adjusted the procurement schedule for all potential suppliers as follows:
• Timeframe for supplier clarification calls extended to 6th September 2024.
• Timeframe for the submission of initial supplier tender responses extended to 13th September 2024 at 17:00.
• Suppliers notified of shortlisted decisions on 20th September
• The 2-way opportunity for queries ahead of demos (9th - 20th September 2024) has been removed. Suppliers are encouraged to use the extended period for clarification calls to check their understanding of our requirements.
The revised schedule is available at https://norwichuni.ac.uk/about-us/governance/info-publication-scheme/procurement/ and is titled "Revised Schedule 20/08/24".
Suppliers are also requested to let us have the two dates within the demo & negotiation window on which they will be available to provide a comprehensive demonstration to our selection / advisory panel, in the event that they are shortlisted to provide a demonstration, as soon as possible. Ideally suppliers will provide these ahead of their initial tender submissions, to help us to accommodate supplier choice of demonstration days where possible.
