The Ministry of Justice (the 'Authority') conducts this procurement under the 'Light Touch Regime'. The Authority has established a probation services dynamic framework ('DF') to purchase services ('Commissioned Rehabilitative Services') to deliver rehabilitation and resettlement interventions under the 'Light Touch Regime'. The DF contains 14 'Service Categories' based on service user needs and cohorts. Interventions will be delivered via call-off contracts let by the Authority and other public sector commissioners ('Participating Bodies') at different geographical levels in England and Wales. As a result of a number of call-off competition failures under the DF, the MOJ now intends to directly award those call-off contracts pursuant to the negotiated procedure without prior publication. Further information about the procedure is provided in section IV.1 below. Additional information: The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020/1319 The Regulation 32 procedure was 'launched' in 2021 when the Authority contacted economic operators in relation to the procedure. As the procedure was launched after IP completion day, this VEAT notice is being published on Find a Tender. For transparency, the Authority has also decided to publish this VEAT notice in the OJEU.
Procurement Information
Justification The Authority considers the award of the contracts without prior publication of a contract notice is permitted by Regulation 32(2)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 on the basis that no and/or no compliant tenders were received in the 17 call-off competitions run under the DF. No bids were received in the following call-off competitions: seven Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) areas for Personal Wellbeing (PWB) contracts; seven for Women's Services contracts; and two PCC areas for Young Adults in Wales. No compliant tenders were received for one call-off competition for a Women's Services contract. Section VI.3 of the Contract Notice for the DF published on 15 June 2020 (see IV.2.1) gave notice that the Authority could directly award a call-off contract pursuant to Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 where there is a call-off competition failure. Accordingly, after due consideration, the Authority has decided to make direct awards in each of these areas pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(a) on grounds of competition failure. Further, the Authority relies on Regulation 32(2)(c). The Authority undertook extensive market engagement in the design of the DF and engaged with tenderers answering clarification questions after the call-off competitions were launched. Suppliers had indicated via the Dynamic Framework that they would be willing to deliver services in the PCC areas with failed bids. There was no indication that one or more competitions would fail and such failures therefore constitute unforeseeable events. These failures have brought about conditions of extreme urgency as there is insufficient time to comply with the relevant time limits to re-run these competitions and to enable successful tenderers to mobilise in time for service commencement on 26 June 2021, by reason whereof, direct awards are necessary. The Authority intends to make the contract awards no later than 04 May 2021 to allow sufficient time to mobilise the contracts by 26 June 2021. The Authority selected the provider to be awarded each contract from those providers that have been successful in securing one or more DF contracts in the relevant Service Category (PWB England; PWB Wales; Young Adults Wales; Women's Services) using a fair and transparent methodology. The Authority intends to enter into the relevant contract on substantially the same terms originally advertised (in the Personal Wellbeing (both England and Wales) and Young Adults Wales ITTs published on 19 October 2020 and the Women's Services ITTs published on 24 November 2020). The contract term shall be for the delivery of services for 2 years from 26 June 2021. The Authority approached potential providers pursuant to the above methodology and following further assessment and dialogue made its selection accordingly. This VEAT notice relates to the proposed contract for Personal Wellbeing Services in Cumbria. Further information is provided in section V.
