This is available on the DSP \u0026 will be used to down-select from an anticipated maximum of 6 suppliers to invite to tender.\nAt the second stage, the Contracting Authority will issue an ITT to the shortlisted suppliers \u0026 invite them to submit tenders. If at the first stage it\u0027s established that only ONE supplier is shortlisted, letters will be issued to inform unsuccessful suppliers the procurement under the competitive flexible procedure would be cancelled \u0026 would switch to Direct Award. \nOnce the ITT has been published to those successful at PSQ, a clarification process will be used during the tender period to allow for suppliers to ask the Authority questions. A summary of the award criteria is in this notice and will be explained in the Tender Evaluation Strategy, which will be published in the DSP, with the ITT. The Authority reserves the right to refine the award criteria before and - where negotiation/final tenders are used - during the Tender period in accordance with section 24 of the Procurement Act 2023. This may include revision to the weightings of the sub-criteria. During this stage there will be no negotiation or dialogue with any shortlisted suppliers."
