It helps assess a supplier\u0027s suitability, experience, financial standing, and compliance with essential criteria before inviting the supplier to submit a tender.\n2.\tPSQ Evaluation:  The PSQs are reviewed and scored. Suppliers who meet the required standards will be shortlisted to proceed to the next stage.\nSite Visits:  To ensure Children and Young People are meaningfully involved in the Dialogue Phase, the Authority has decided to conduct site visits prior to its commencement. This adjustment will help participants prepare more effectively for the dialogue sessions, with the aim of informing the specification in collaboration with successful Providers. The approach aligns with paragraphs 5.6 and 20.2 of the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) Introductory and Explanatory Document. Providers who meet the PSQ requirements-covering the Exclusion Regime, Conditions of Participation, and quality thresholds-will be notified of their scheduled site visit. Each Provider must propose one Home. While a South West location is preferred for logistical reasons, Providers without a presence in the region will not be disadvantaged. Assessment areas may include environment and relationships, activities and education, and support for future ambitions, with final topics confirmed before visits commence.\n3.\tDialogue to enhance the specification:  A dialogue phase is conducted with the shortlisted suppliers to refine and clarify the project requirements.\n4.\tTender submissions: Suppliers are then invited to submit formal bids based on the finalised specification. This will include pricing and detailed proposals.\n5.\tPresentations (if required):  Suppliers may be invited to present their proposals. This allows the project team to assess their understanding, approach, and value proposition more thoroughly.\n6.\tEvaluation:  Submitted tenders will then be evaluated against predefined criteria such as cost, quality, innovation, and compliance. \n7.\tDue Diligence and Contract Finalisation Dialogue Period:  Before awarding the contract, further checks are conducted on the Intended Successful Supplier to validate supplier claims (e.g., financial health, references). Final negotiations may occur to agree on contract terms.\n8.\tContract Award: The successful Supplier is formally awarded the contract, and the procurement process concludes."
