Transforming Tyisha - Development Opportunity
8. Procurement
A Competitive Dialogue award procedure in accordance with the regulation 30 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) will be undertaken in relation to the procurement of the Project.
During the pre-qualification (PQQ) stage, the intention is to arrive at a short list of four potential bidders for formal invitation to participate in the dialogue (ITPD) in relation to the Council’s requirement. The aim of the dialogue is to identify and define the means best suited of satisfying the Council’s requirements.
The dialogue will be conducted in "successive stages". The number of solutions discussed and/or bidders may be reduced by applying the award criteria set out in the ITPD. The dialogue will continue until the Council is satisfied that the solutions(s) proposed by (the remaining) bidders will meet all of the Council’s requirements, at which point, the dialogue will be concluded.
The Council will invite bidders to submit their final tenders based on the solution(s) identified during the dialogue phase. The Council may, prior to the selection of a winning bidder, require final tenders, once received, to be clarified, specified and optimised. Final tenders will be assessed on the basis of the award criteria stated in the tender documents.
Once identified, the Council may require the winning bidder, to clarify aspects or confirm commitments contained in the final tender. Once all matters are satisfactorily completed, the Council will make its decision whether to award the contract to the winning bidder.
Once the Council has reached a decision in respect of contract award it will notify all participating bidders of that decision and provide a standstill period of 10 calendar days before letting a contract.
Further detail of the precise structure of the Competitive Dialogue process will be set out in the ITPD which will be dispatched to short listed Bidders following pre-qualification.
IMPORTANT - The process set out above is indicative only and the Council reserves the right to vary, alter or amend the structure of the procurement process (if any) at its sole discretion. Further details will be set out in future suite of tender documentation issued to participating bidders.
The closing date for Pre-Qualification Questionnaire submissions is Thursday 12th September 2024 at 2pm.
