Envisaged minimum number 5: and maximum number 8
Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates: Stage 1 - Pre-Qualification Stage: All organisations responding to the contract notice will be given the opportunity to complete this PQQ, which shall be evaluated and a short list of Applicants will be invited to tender. It is intended that the short-list will comprise a minimum of 5 and maximum of 8 Applicants, who have met all mandatory requirements in parts A - K, and have scored highest in the evaluation in parts L and provided information requested in part M.
The weighted questions will be based on the answers provided in response to this Questionnaire. Responses to these questions will be scored as per the scoring matrix identified. The highest quality bid will be allocated the 100 % weighting. All other bids will be scored on a prorated basis against the highest bid (e.g. tenderer's quality divided by the highest bid quality multiplied by the 100 % weighting).
A maximum of eight of the highest scoring Applicants will then be selected for the short list based on the Evaluation Panel's assessment. Should any additional bidder's score be equal to 2 or more bidders then all bidders of equal lowest quality will progress onto the short list.
The scores awarded for the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire will not be used in the subsequent selection process. The contract will be awarded on the basis of the Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
All Applicants who are not selected for the short list will be notified and given the opportunity for feedback.
Stage 2 - Tender Stage: Tender documentation will be issued to the short-listed Applicants. The Selection Panel will consider the respective submissions when balancing the quality/price and selecting the best overall value for money. The weightings given to the submissions in respect of quality and price will be in the ratio of 70/30 (quality/price). The Trust will wish to hold clarification interviews with the prospective applicants.
If the Applicant's ‘quality’ score (the score awarded for the Invitation to Tender) meets or exceeds a minimum quality threshold of 60 %, the Tender pricing document shall be opened and scored. If the Applicant's ‘quality’ score fails to meet the threshold score of 60 % the application shall not be considered further and the Tender pricing document will remain unopened.
