This will be followed by an ITN and BAFO stage, which will assess the trial and commercial offerings. Phase 1 \u2013 ITT \u2013 Trial Selection \u2013 This stage will allow for the down selection to 4 suppliers to take part in the 9-month trial. The trial will be undertaken on a fixed price basis, set by UU based on market intelligence and benchmarking. Phase 2 \u2013 ITT \u2013 Tender Negotiation \u2013 will run in tandem with the trial and will mirror a traditional ITN stage. The Bidder will be assessed against Commercial and Technical element along with technical criteria for the trial. Phase 3 \u2013 BAFO - This phase will be post-trial and will be solely based on the assessment of the Bidder\u2019s submitted prices for their Best and Final Offer. The number of Bidders for each Phase is as follows: No. of Bidders to Phase 2 - 4 No. of Awards 1* United Utilities currently intends to make a single award to one CWQM Supplier. However, reserves the right to make two awards, and enter into two separate Agreements. The reasons for making two awards rather than one may include Regulatory change or Scalability and delivery risk."
