Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am requesting the following information regarding supplier rebate options offered as part of your Supplier Incentive Service, Supplier Incentive Programme, Supplier Advantage Initiative, or equivalent early payment scheme (hereafter collectively referred to as 'SAI').
Please provide the following information for all construction-related procurements (as defined below) from the financial year in which your early payment rebate programme was first introduced up to the most recent complete financial year available:

1. Rebate Option Success Rates at Tender Stage Opting in to the Preferred Supplier Scheme is not part of the evaluation criteria for Tenders. Supplier tracking is not recorded of suppliers opting in versus those that opt out as part of the ITT procurement evaluation process.
For construction and construction adjacent tenders where suppliers were asked to select an early payment rebate percentage (EPR) as part of the evaluation or award criteria, please provide:
• The number of contracts awarded to suppliers that proposed each of the following rebate levels: o 0.0%
o 0.5%
o 1.0%
o 1.25%
o 1.5%
o 2.0%
o Any other levels
No tracking available
• Where different suppliers on a multi-supplier contract (e.g., frameworks) opted for different rebate levels, please provide the total number of suppliers who opted for each rate. Please provide this data broken down by financial year. Not Applicable as not part of the evaluation criteria

2. Uptake of the Early Payment Scheme (e.g., Supplier Advantage Initiative)
Please provide the following:
• The number of contracts awarded to suppliers who did not agree to participate in the early payment scheme at all. Participating in the Preferred Supplier Scheme is not part of the evaluation criteria for Tenders.
• The number of suppliers (or contracts, where applicable) that did opt in to the scheme. There are currently 4 Construction Registered Suppliers participating on the PSS Scheme
• The aggregate annual contract value for those who opted in vs those who did not. Again, please provide this data broken down by financial year.See attached Spreadsheet for PSS CIS Suppliers, see https://procontract.due-north.com/ContractsRegister/Index?resetFilter=True&applyFilter=True&p=679bb2ba-7898-4a4c-b4e3-c8eb6a07a3dc&v=1 for list of all contracts
