Applicants should note that Source Energie will employ the negotiated procedure for the award of any procurement arrangements under the qualification system. These arrangements may include the award of contracts, contracts with options or framework agreements (single or multi-party). On occasions where the nature of the procurement is complex or seeks to drive innovation or manage risk, Source Energie may use the competitive dialogue process to explore suitable/viable solutions as part of the procurement process. For both the negotiated procedure and the competitive dialogue procedure, Source Energie reserves the right to apply the successive reduction process, to reduce the numbers of tenderers/participants invited to subsequent phases of the process. In relation to the negotiated procedure, Source Energie reserves the right to award contracts directly on foot of original tenders without any negotiation. Source Energie also reserves the right to negotiate on some or all aspects of a tender submission (cost and / or qualitative aspects).
Supply-Line offers financial savings for both the contracting entities and suppliers whilst ensuring that applications for market entry continue to be dealt with fairly and objectively by the contracting entities, thus minimising the workload for both groups.
