                "description": "Notice of Modifications Pursuant to Section 31 and Section 88 of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23), the Contracting Authority notifies all bidders of changes to the Conditions of Participation (CoP) in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) Volume 2 for the above-referenced Light Touch Regime (LTR) procurement. These changes ensure only suppliers with proven capability deliver the Support at Home (SaH) Services, addressing the high interest and risk of low-quality bids while ensuring value for money. Details of Modifications 1. Question 19.1 (Technical Ability - Clarified): Change: Suppliers must provide up to three contract examples from the last 3 years demonstrating experience in delivering short-term, community-based social care services for at least 300 individuals annually, with 24-hour response capability, health pathway integration, and management of a mixed paid/volunteer workforce, including volunteer training and supervision. This ensures contract examples are relevant to the service's requirements, aligning with Q19.2 and enhancing clarity. 2. Question 19.2 (Technical Ability - Clarified): Change: Suppliers must demonstrate a proven track record over a minimum of 3 years in delivering short-term, community-based social care services for at least 300 individuals annually, with 24-hour response capability, health pathway integration, and management of a mixed paid/volunteer workforce. This ensures suppliers have recent, specific experience, reducing the risk of incapable bidders. 3. Question 19.3 (Removed): Change: The option to justify a lack of relevant experience has been removed, and Q19.3 is marked as N/A. Suppliers must meet the technical ability requirements in Q19.1 and Q19.2. This ensures only suppliers with proven experience bid, safeguarding service quality for a PS1,059,200 contract serving 600 vulnerable individuals annually. The changes refine the CoP to align with the contract's objectives and are proportionate under PA23. The updated ITT Volume 2 and Q&As are available on the Proactis portal. Revised Submission Deadline The tender submission deadline has been extended from August 4, 2025, to August 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM to allow bidders sufficient time to address these changes. Reopened Clarification Period The clarification period has been reopened to allow questions about the amendments. Queries must be submitted via the Proactis portal by August 4, 2025, at 5:00 PM, with responses shared with all bidders to ensure equal treatment. Contact Information For clarification queries, refer to the Q&As on the Proactis portal or contact Strategic Procurement via Proactis by August 4, 2025. The Contracting Authority is committed to compliance with PA23's principles of transparency, equal treatment, non-discrimination, and proportionality."
