    "description": "The Council is seeking a development partner with the relevant experience, capability and resources to deliver a high quality, residential-led development at the Site.  The Council proposes to enter into a partnering arrangement with the successful Potential Supplier that aligns the parties\u2019 goals, apportions risk appropriately, and provides a clear and transparent mechanism for the delivery of the Project. It is currently envisaged that this arrangement will be structured as a Development Agreement, supported by Heads of Terms to be issued during the Dialogue Stage.\nThe Development Agreement is expected to be conditional on the agreement of an overall Business Plan, to be derived from the Final Tender Submission, and supported by a detailed masterplan and delivery strategy. \nThe Council will be undertaking this procurement process using the Competitive Flexible Procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, allowing for structured dialogue with shortlisted Potential Suppliers prior to the submission of Final Tenders. The Council is committed to a collaborative and transparent process that encourages innovation and quality within a commercially viable framework.",

      "features": "The procurement stage commenced with the publication of the Tender Notice in the Central Digital Platform (\"CDP\"). Prior to this, pre-market engagement was undertaken in November 2024. and a Pre-Market Engagement Notice was published in the CDP on 9th June 2025. The Council is \nconducting the procurement exercise using the Competitive Flexible Procedure in accordance with the requirements of the Act. \nThis procedure is being used to allow shortlisted Potential Suppliers to enter into dialogue with the Council to discuss specific aspects of their proposals before submitting a final tender leading to the selection of a Preferred Potential Supplier, whilst minimising / avoiding excessive and \ndisproportionate costs. The contract shall be awarded on the basis of the most advantageous tender (\"MAT\") in accordance with the Act.\nAs this procurement process is a Competitive Flexible Procedure, not all of the documentation for the procurement has been published at this participation stage. The Council has provided sufficient information to enable Potential Suppliers to make an informed decision about whether the \nopportunity is suitable for them\nSTAGE 01: PARTICIPATION STAGE (PRE-QUALIFICATION) \nStage 01 commenced with the publication of the Tender Notice in the CDP. Potential Suppliers responding to the Tender Notice will gain access to the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (\"PSQ\") and a range of supporting documents including this MOI. Potential suppliers who intend to submit a completed questionnaire must follow the instructions in the PSQ and submit their completed questionnaire to the Council by the due date. Completed questionnaires will be evaluated by the Council with assistance from their appointed advisors and, depending on the quantity and quality of responses received, it is anticipated that up to four Potential Suppliers will be shortlisted for Stage 02. Please refer to the PSQ guidance for further details. \nSTAGE 02: DIALOGUE STAGE \nPotential Suppliers selected in accordance with the PSQ will be issued with an IPD document. This will include the requirements for the dialogue stage, including draft heads of terms and the detailed evaluation criteria for awarding the contract which will be informed by the Project Objectives. \nThere will be an efficient number of dialogue meetings (currently envisaged to be around four)throughout this period between the Council and individual Potential Suppliers to discuss key elements of the requirements; for the Council to provide constructive feedback on the evolving solutions and for both parties to discuss and agree appropriate changes to the draft heads of terms.\nThe primary intention of this stage is to identify solutions that satisfy the Council\u2019s Project Objectives. The Council will seek to conduct the dialogue stage as expeditiously as possible to avoid unnecessary protraction and cost for all parties involved. Once one or more acceptable solutions have been identified, the Council can close dialogue and invite the remaining Potential Suppliers to the final tender stage. \nSTAGE 03: FINAL TENDER STAGE \nStage 03 will commence with the issue of the ISFT document. Potential Suppliers will be required to submit their Final Tenders in response to the ISFT and on the basis of the solutions agreed during dialogue. Final Tenders will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria, and a Preferred Potential Supplier will be recommended.\nSTAGE 04: PREFERRED POTENTIAL SUPPLIER STAGE\nThis stage will involve settling the terms of the contract between the Council and the Preferred Potential Supplier, in accordance with the agreed Heads of Terms and the principles of the Final Tender response. \nSTAGE 05: AWARD STAGE\nThis stage will involve signing the contract documents, directly following the Preferred Potential Supplier stage, which will formalise the contract between the Council and the Preferred Potential Supplier."
