Lot Information
Lot 1
The Authority is conducting this procurement process in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender opportunity falls within Schedule 3 of the Regulations (Social and Other Specific Services) and below the Light Touch Regime threshold. Whilst this means that this Tender is exempt from EU procurement rules, it will be run in accordance with the EU Treaty principles of transparency, non-discrimination, equal treatment, mutual recognition, and proportionality. Along with satisfying the essential criteria for contract award, we are inviting Applicants to submit comprehensive and realistic method statements, with associated timescales, outlining the proposed customer journey, from the point of receiving a referral, to the end of a participant's involvement. We will ask Applicants to explain how their delivery method will achieve the desired outputs/outcomes ensuring all associated risks and issues are highlighted along with any mitigating actions. At the conclusion of the Award stage, the intention is to award a contract to 1 applicant per set of pre-determined qualifications. Part D will indicate the number of individuals per qualification, alongside the guide price for each qualification. The provider that scores highest against each qualification will be offered the contract and the highest scoring applicant will be determined by their score for Part C (quality) and their costings in Part D (price).
