Applicants are invited to select the lot(s) within which they considered themselves suitably experienced and qualified to the meet the selection criteria. It is acknowledged that some Applicants may not be able to fulfil all requirements of a lot in its totality. This should not deter applicants from selecting a lot for which they can partially fulfil the requirements. This DPS will run continuously from Q3, 2016 for a minimum of 4 years, when it will be reviewed to assess whether the defined lots are still relevant to the needs of the Authority. Where the DPS is considered relevant, it will continue in force, subject to 2 year reviews up to 2026. Where the lot structure requires substantial change or amendment a new contract notice will be issued and the DPS will be refreshed. In any event the DPS will be subject to a complete refresh during 2026. The DPS will be re-opened to admit new suppliers at any time from the date of implementation of this DPS procurement i.e. 1.10.2016, subject to any new applicants meeting the selection criteria and confirming that the grounds for exclusion do not apply. Suppliers will be able to apply for more than 1 category or lot at the PQQ stage. Please note that there is no requirement to submit pricing data or an indicative tender at this stage of the DPS. Work packages will be identified and issued for tender to all DPS participants selected for the particular lot(s). It is at this stage that Supplier will be required to submit their tender and bid for various work packages within specific lots. Applicants should register their interest in the project via the In-Tend website https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire and complete and submit the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) together with any supporting information requested by noon on 10.6.2016 (for the initial set up of the DPS). All relevant information and documents to enable applicants to participate will be available from 9th May on In-tend, please do not contact us for early or additional information until you have thoroughly reviewed the data that has been made available to all applicants. If you miss the initial DPS set up or fail at the initial PQQ stage, you are able to reapply once the DPS is awarded 1.10.2016. From 1.10.2016 onwards a PQQ can be submitted at any time up until 2026 when HCC plan to fully renew it.
