BDS will be conducting the procurement following the ‘Restricted procedure’, under which the opportunity is advertised, and all interested Organisations/Consortia can Bid for the SQ Stage (Stage 1). All Applicants that meet the mandatory requirements and have scored greater than the threshold score will be invited to the Stage 2 ITT. The Tenderers with the highest overall total scores at Stage 2, for each lot, will be deemed to be the successful Tenderers and be invited to sign the Framework Agreement. There will be a maximum of ten (10) Framework Contractors for Lot 1 and eight (8) Framework Contractors for Lot 2. Framework projects will focus on place making, low operation / net zero carbon and biodiversity – to create sustainable communities.
