NOTE: For purposes of this initial tender return stage, bidders will be required to complete and return documentation for both Stage 1 (completion and submission of the procurement specific questionnaire (PSQ)) and Stage 2 (completion and submission of the Initial Tender Bid), together, by the tender closing date specified, i.e. Friday 27th February 2026 (12:00 noon GMT). Stage 1 – Invitation to Participate Stage 1 commenced with the issuing of a Tender Notice and the publication of this document. This document includes a procurement specific questionnaire (PSQ) at Appendix I (see also Schedule 6) which all Suppliers are required to complete and return in accordance with the Procurement Timetable and instructions within the document. Stage 2 - Invitation to submit initial tenders Initial tenders must be submitted in accordance with the Procurement Timetable and instructions set out in the document and any additional information provided. Initial tender responses will be by completion and return of the Schedule 7 document - Invitation to Tender (ITT Part 2). Following the deadline for submission of initial tenders, the Authority will assess initial tenders in accordance with the assessment process and award criteria set out in the Tender Notice and described in this document. The assessment process will identify which Suppliers are to be selected to participate in the negotiation/dialogue stage as set out in Stage 3. Once the assessment of initial tenders has concluded, Suppliers will be notified in writing whether they have successfully been invited to Stage 3. The Authority intends to shortlist a maximum of 3 Suppliers to participate in the dialogue/negotiation stage. Any Suppliers not invited to participate in Stage 3 will be provided with reasons in writing to explain why they have not been successful. NOTE: The Authority will rank the scored initial tender bid submissions from 1 (first) to X (last), with the highest-scoring supplier being nominated as the (initial) preferred supplier for the Lead Developer Partner role. The supplier ranked 2 (second) will be appointed as ‘1st reserve’; the supplier ranked 3 (third) will be appointed as ‘2nd reserve’. The suppliers ranked 4 (fourth), or lower, will be eliminated from further consideration in this procurement. Stage 3 - Invitation to participate in dialogue Stage 3 will commence with the issuing of a letter inviting Supplier(s) that have successfully passed Stage 2 to attend one or more dialogue and/or negotiation meetings. NOTE: The preferred supplier (only) will then be invited to attend and to participate in specified dialogue sessions, with emphasis on different aspects of the development proposals over a period of 2 – 3 months. In the event that the Authority is unable to reach an agreement with the preferred supplier, or the preferred supplier withdraws, or development negotiations break down, then the Authority can terminate discussions with the preferred supplier and move to hold a similar dialogue process with the 1st reserve supplier. In the event that the Authority is subsequently unable to reach agreement with the 1st reserve supplier, or the 1st reserve supplier withdraws, or development negotiations break down, then the Authority can terminate discussions with the 1st reserve supplier and move to hold a similar dialogue process with the 2nd reserve supplier. Stage 4 - Invitation to submit a final tender Stage 4 will commence with the issuing of a letter inviting the Supplier that has successfully concluded the dialogue process at Stage 3 to submit their final tender offer for the Lead Developer Partner role. The Authority will conduct an assessment of the final tender bid submission in order to evaluate the quality and score of the Stage 4 Final Tender bid. The successful Supplier for contract award will be that which has submitted the most advantageous tender in accordance with the assessment methodology and award criteria set out in the Tender Notice and described in this document.
