            <p>The Competitive Flexible Procedure (CFP) will comprise two stages. </p>
            <p>Stage 1, “Participation &amp; Tender,” combines the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) with the price and design evaluation set out in the associated tender documents. </p>
            <p>The tender assessment will then consist of both price and design assessment at Stage 1, for up to 70% weighting. </p>
            <p>From Stage 1, the five highest‑scoring suppliers will be down‑selected to participate in the Stage 2 interview, during which the remaining 30% of the overall score will be assessed through a set of  interview questions. </p>
            <p>The three (3) suppliers achieving the highest combined scores across both stages will be awarded a place on the Interior Design Framework. </p>

              <p>Each Project Order Form shall constitute a binding instruction under the Call‑Off Contract and shall set out the specific scope of Services, pricing, programme and any project‑specific requirements.</p>
              <p>No Services shall be provided unless and until a Project Order Form has been issued by Great Places in accordance with the Framework Agreement and the Call‑Off Contract.</p>
