Upon receipt of the SOQ Evaluation Report, the Supervisory Committee will begin its review. In reviewing this Report the Supervisory Committee will consider:
a) Whether the overall SOQ process appears to have been conducted in full compliance with NCP requirements.
b) Whether the evaluation of SOQ responses has been performed in accordance with NCP requirements.
c) Whether the documentation of the SOQ evaluation process and recommendation of shortlist has been conducted in full compliance with NCP requirements.
The Work Team shall present the evaluation report to the Supervisory Committee, answer any questions related thereto, provide supplementary information upon request, and provide supporting rationale for the recommended shortlist of bidders.
The Supervisory Committee, upon completion of its review, will take one of the following actions:
a) If all NCP requirements for the SOQ and evaluation process have been met, and the SOQ Evaluation Report is complete and in accordance with NCP requirements, the Supervisory Committee will approve the shortlist and the procurement will proceed to the RFP stage.
b) If there appear to be errors or omissions in the process or the documentation, but the Supervisory Committee believes that these problems are resolvable, the Supervisory Committee shall identify the problems and require that they be remedied. The evaluation panel will then revise the evaluation and the SOQ Evaluation Report accordingly, and resubmit the Report to the Supervisory Committee.
c) If there appear to be errors or omissions in the process or the documentation, and the Supervisory Committee believes that these problems are not resolvable, the Supervisory Committee shall identify the problems and decline to approve the SOQ Evaluation Report. In this case, the Supervisory Committee shall direct the Work Team to conduct a new SOQ process, cancel the procurement, or take such other remedial actions as it may deem necessary, at the Supervisory Committee's discretion.
