The Council is using the Restricted Procedure pursuant to Regulation 28 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (PCR) which will involve the following two core stages: Stage 1 – assessment of capacity, capability, and financial standing to meet Council requirements and shortlisting Selection Questionnaire (SQ); Stage 2 – Invitation to Tender to those shortlisted (ITT). Those Tenderers shortlisted at Stage 1 will be invited to Tender and will be requested to provide proposals to meet the requirements outlined in the procurement documents. The term is to be for a maximum of 4 years. There is a programme of several projects planned initially. The final number of projects to be delivered may increase and vary depending on the level of future external funding available to the Council and the success of the partnership between the Council and Delivery Partner. It is the intention of the Council that the Delivery Partner will deliver the entire programme of works, however there are situations where a Reserve Supplier may be invited to deliver Work Orders. The Reserve Supplier will be engaged by the Council to hold that role from the outset and will be invited to take part in a quotation procedure for a Work order in limited situations and as described in the procurement documents.
