Description

The Client is currently considering a Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The anticipated approach is a streamlined process broadly aligned with an open procedure, comprising a single stage covering the Pre-Selection Questionnaire (PSQ) and Invitation to Tender (ITT) requirements. An optional negotiation stage may be included if further clarification or negotiation is required, particularly in relation to price and other commercial matters. The PME seeks to obtain market intelligence, technical advice and supplier feedback in relation to a potential procurement for the design, supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of a LED planetarium dome. Refer to Project context and reference guide for further information including the link (pg.21) to access and complete the PME questionnaire. Interested parties are asked to log into eTendersNI where the questionnaire is available at the link below. https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps/cft/prepareViewCfTWS.do?resourceId=6719157 Please also confirm once you have downloaded and read the questionnaire in the eTendersNI portal.
