Description

The Procurement was undertaken as a competitive procedure with negotiation under Regulation 29 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Following, three separate rounds of market engagement in January, June, and August 2024 the Procurement launched on 21 October 2024. The Council encouraged small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in the Procurement, either as Candidates, consortium members, supply-chain partners or sub-contractors. The Selection Questionnaire (the "SQ") Stage of the Procurement closed on 25 November 2024. An Invitation to Submit Initial Tender (the "ISIT") was released in December 2024 to the Candidates shortlisted at the SQ Stage (subsequently referred to as "Tenderers"). Only quality was evaluated during the Initial Tender Stage, and following this stage, the top three (3) ranked Tenderers were issued with an Invitation to Submit Detailed Tender (the "ISDT") and invited to the Detailed Tender Stage. At the Detailed Tender Stage, quality was evaluated and a detailed review of the Schedules of Rates was undertaken for the purposes of providing feedback to the Tenderers. The Council did not apply the Price Per Quality Point evaluation method at Detailed Tender Stage. All three (3) Tenderers were issued with an Invitation to Submit Final Tender (the "ISFT"). At the Final Tender Stage of the Procurement the Council evaluated the Tenderers' quality responses and used the Schedules of Rates to calculate the Tenderers' Price per Quality Point. The most economically advantageous Tenderer was determined by the Tenderer receiving the lowest Price per Quality Point.
