Additional information: The Authority's competitive flexible procedure comprises two stages (and broadly resembles the 'restricted' procedure under the former regulatory regime - PCR 2015):

1) Participation Stage - this stage invites suppliers to submit a 'Participation Questionnaire', requiring suppliers to satisfy legal, financial and technical standing requirements. Without prejudice to any of the specific provisions of the invitation document, the Authority anticipates inviting only the four highest scoring suppliers to stage 2.

2) Tender Stage - preferred suppliers from Stage 1 are then invited to a substantive tender stage, at which suppliers will put forward their commercial and technical proposals.

The Authority recognises that there is no obligation to publish this information on Contracts Finder; however, it has done so to maximise visibility of the opportunity. A full notice can be found on the Find a Tender platform.
