For the avoidance of doubt, regulation 29 of the PCR 2015 will not apply. The Contracting Authorities will follow the PCR 2015 principles of transparency, equal treatment and non-discrimination in conducting this procurement.
Any interested organisation, Consortium or a collaboration with the experience, capability and capacity to deliver the ambition laid out in the tender documents may submit a tender return in response to this ITT. The Contracting Authorities welcome collaborations and partnerships, subject to them appointing a lead to act on their behalf as the lead contracting party taking overall responsibility for delivery of the CCH Service in accordance with the requirements of the Contract.
