Traffic Signals and Intelligent Transport Systems

• Not divided into lots: Justification for decision not to subdivide into lots (section 18(2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023) - The Council requires continuity in the provision of the service across the County.
• How the procedure runs: The Council will be using the Competitive Flexible Procedure as defined in the Procurement Act 2023. The process will be as follows: - 1. Bidders will complete the Invitation to Initial Tender (including pricing) and submit in accordance with the timelines at Section 5 of this Invitation to Initial Tender. 2. Tenders will be assessed in accordance with the requirements of the Procurement Act 2023. The Council may decide to undertake these assessment stages in any order or to undertake one or more stages concurrently. This means that if your response fails at any stage of the ITT evaluation process, there may not necessarily be feedback on other stages. However, you will be provided with feedback on any scores you are awarded prior to your tender being rejected in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. 3. If there are three bidders or fewer who pass Form A, B, C and D of the Invitation to Initial Tender and pass the Quality Threshold for Form F and submit the required documents for Form G then those bidders will be invited to participate in dialogue and submit a final tender. 4. If there are more than three bidders who pass Form A, B, C and D and pass the Quality Threshold for Form F and submit the required documents for Form G, then the Council will take through the three top scoring bids (or four or more bids in the event of a tie for third place). The Initial Tenders will be scored in accordance with the process set out in this Invitation to Initial Tender. 5. During dialogue, bidders will be able to refine their bid (including pricing) and the Council reserves the right to amend the Scope, pricing documents and terms and conditions before requesting Final Tenders. Any score given at this stage [including any pass in a pass/fail question] will not be carried forward to the assessment of final tenders after dialogue and bidders should note that as factors including Scope, pricing documents and terms and conditions are all liable to change, their final tenders after dialogue are likely to require substantial revision to reflect such changes and the feedback given in dialogue. 6. At the close of dialogue, bidders will be issued with the Invitation to Final Tender (including the final Scope, pricing documents and terms and conditions). 7. Bidders should note that the Council may request a further version of the pricing list and/or raise clarifications on your quality response before dialogue. 8. It is always the bidder's responsibility to ensure that their application is as complete and detailed as possible at each stage. Although the Council will discuss and comment on your quality and price responses, it is not for the Council to raise every weakness in your response in its assessment of initial tenders or during dialogue.
