Other Information

The values provided in sections II.1.5 and II.2.14 include the initial contract terms of 48 months per Lot and the optional extension periods of 12 months per Lot. Bidders can submit a tender for either Lot 1, Lot 2 or both. Bidders may be awarded to Lot 1 only, Lot 2 only or both based on the outcome of the evaluation for each individual Lot. Three areas have been set up on project 31692 of PCS-Tender: - SPD - Lot 1 - Lot 2 All bidders must navigate to the SPD area and submit a completed SPD. This SPD will be valid for both Lot 1 and Lot 2, therefore only one SPD is required to be completed regardless of whether your organisation is bidding for one or both Lots. All attachments relevant to both Lots, including the Invitation to Tender, contract and appendices are saved within the attachments section of the SPD area on PCS-T. Bidders should then navigate to the relevant Lot(s) and respond to the requirements within. NHSS intend to host a Bidder Day on Teams at 9am - 10.30am on Tuesday 5th May. NHSS will provide a short presentation on the procurement and requirements and there will be time for bidders to ask questions. A Q&A wrap-up session will also be held at 4pm - 5pm on Tuesday 5th May. If you are interested in attending, please provide attendee email addresses via the PCS-T message board. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 31692.
