All tenders who meet the overall minimum score we be appointed onto the Electronic Market Place (EMP), for the lot applied for, as long as they pass the SSQ criteria.

The prices submitted will only be considered at call-off stage once the matching to a Young Person's individual needs is met and therefore the contract (IPA) following internal Council approvals will be awarded to the tenderer who meets the minimum quality thresholds and submits the lowest price. Block Contract, once on the EMP there may be an opportunity to apply for a block contract where we may have identified a specific requirement. There will be a mini competition available to all bidders. The criteria will be contained within the Specification document. Pricing - Although prices will not be used to gain entry onto the EMP, they will be scrutinised to determine affordability and whether they are competitive."
