COMPETITIVE PROCEDURE WITH NEGOTIATION EXPLANATION -Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) this is a two-stage procedure run in a similar way to a Restricted procedure. This requires interested parties to complete a pre-qualification stage by submitting a Single Procurement Document (SPD) before being invited to submit a tender. This down selection process allows CFL to limit the number of parties receiving the full tender and moving forward to the negotiation phase(s). The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 23382. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 (SC Ref:720364)
