Step 2 - The State to consider and respond

The State will consider each Respondent Initiated ITP Workshop request and will determine whether the ITP Workshop should take place, either as a whole or in part. The State may, in its absolute discretion, accept or modify an agenda proposed by a Respondent.

The State will liaise with any Project Stakeholder in order to arrange attendance by their representatives, as relevant.

Once the State has determined whether a Respondent Initiated ITP Workshop should proceed, it will confirm with the relevant Respondent, via the Q&A Facility in the Data Room, the date, time, location, agenda and any special requirements that the State may have in relation to the ITP Workshop over and above the protocols outlined in this ITP Plan.  

The State will also identify reasons for refusal of any Respondent Initiated ITP Workshop or part thereof, if deemed appropriate.  Where the State has refused a Respondent Initiated ITP Workshop, the State will provide this information to Respondents via the Q&A Facility in the Data Room prior to the proposed Respondent Initiated ITP Workshop.
