Scope
Description
The London Fire Commissioner is engaged in a Carbon Net Zero programme in support of the Lord Mayors Carbon Net Zero plans (CNZ) for 2030. The reduction in carbon emissions relies more heavily on electric consumption, this increasing demand requires sub-station upgrades across our estate as part of that holistic solution. As part of our approach, we seek to electrify our fleet of vehicles which adds considerably to a restructure of our electrical supply solution.
We seek Independent Connection Providers to deliver this stage of our upgrade Works to the sixteen (16) Fire Stations listed within the ITT documentation and listed below for completeness.

Competitive flexible procedure description
This event will contain 4 Lots containing different Fire Stations and will be conducted in two stages as follows:
Stage 1 to include a PSQ in combination with Quality evaluation (including Responsible Procurement at 20%). This will shortlist the top 5 scoring bidders who score above the quality threshold to complete the Stage 2 evaluation.
In the event that fewer than 5 bidders exceed the quality threshold (of 40%) to progress then that number of suppliers will be the number that are progressed to stage 2.
Stage 2 includes both a Commercial and Delivery Capability evaluation during which, bidders can select which Lots they intend to bid for. Bidders will be able to bid for as many Lots as they wish.
The commercial evaluation seeks firm pricing for the bidders technical solution for delivery, bidders shall outline the decision making process for the solution and how they will resource delivery within the timescales available. Bidder are required to convince the LFC of their ability to deliver the Lots they wish to secure. Both the commercial and Delivery Assessment elements of the bidders proposal(s) shall be evaluated against the following weighting - Quality 40%, commercial 60%. A round of clarification meetings will allow the LFC to complete our evaluation, testing bidders delivery approach where required. Responses will be re-scored as necessary to complete the evaluation and identify the winning bidder for each Lot by combining the commercial and Delivery Assessment scores together. The highest score for each Lot being awarded, provided that all other conditions within the ITT are met.
We shall seek to award a maximum of 4 contracts under this event, one for each Lot.
