The full System Requirements will be released at the ITT stage to down-selected suppliers. The Authority reserves the right to procure additional quantities from the successful supplier. Where necessary to prove compliance to system requirements at ITT stage, a sample unit (& appropriate training) may be required at nil cost to the Authority. This unit may be tested to destruction; the Tenderer will be provided with the evaluation results. PQQ Criteria: All questions within the PQQ will be scored on a pass/fail basis, with the exception of section 6 which contains two scored questions designed to assess the technical capacity and capability of the tenderer.
