The Authority will then assess Bidders\u0027 PSQ Responses and confirm which Bidders will proceed to Stage 2. This Stage focuses on shortlisting Bidders that meet the necessary technical, financial, and operational capabilities required by the Contract through consideration of current experience, capacity, systems, accreditations, financial standing, etc. Qualification will be determined through a series of pass/fail questions. \nStage 2 - for those Bidders who proceed to Stage 2, the Authority will then assess Bidders\u0027 Initial Tenders and confirm which Bidders will proceed to Stage 3. The Authority intends to invite a maximum of 3 Bidders to Stage 3 of the Procurement.   \nStage 3 - for those Bidders who proceed to Stage 3, Bidders will be invited to attend up to 2 rounds of negotiation. Following the close of negotiation, Bidders will then be invited to submit their Final Tenders and the Authority will assess Final Tenders to identify the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT).  \nAward - once Final Tenders have been assessed, the Authority will provide assessment summaries to all Bidders who submitted Final Tenders and will publish a Contract Award Notice to commence a voluntary standstill period. Subject to the completion of the voluntary standstill period, the Authority intends for Stage 3 to end with the Authority entering into the Contract with the Successful Bidder."
