      II.2.4) Description of procurement: Due to the value of this project, any tender process is governed by the regulations of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and will therefore be subject to the same processes and timeframes required.

The intention is to complete this tender exercise as an Open Procedure, in line with the instructions of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015). This single stage process will combine the Selection Questionnaire (SQ) and the Invitation to Tender (ITT), meaning that bidders will be expected to provide all requested information by one, clear deadline.

The SQ is the standard format required under UK guidelines and requires all bidders to provided key information about their organisation’s financial and legal standing, as well as references of current/previous customers and details of their current insurance policies. In addition to this, Stonewater will also include questions, scored as either a “Pass” or “Fail”, based on key organisational initiatives and how well these match with Stonewater’s own policies. These will cover Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).

The ITT will require bidders to complete the Form of Tender as well as providing responses to some additional questioning, specific to this site. The questions posed will cover areas that are important to the project and to Stonewater as an organisation and will challenge prospective bidders to think about the additional value they can provide, beyond the standard remit.

The pricing requirements of the tender can be found in the Contract Sum Analysis, located in Appendix 2. All bidders should ensure that this is completed fully and in as much detail as possible.

The overall process will be scored against the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) principle.
