Bidders are required to provide cost information on hourly rates within the pricing document provided, and the price evaluation will multiply these rates by the estimated number of hours required for each role, and an annual charge will then be multiplied by the full 60 month period to give an accurate pricing score. The mechanism for price rises is explained within the specification and terms for contract. All potential suppliers must comply with the Employment Agencies Act 2010 and Equalities Act 2010, and Pass/Fail criteria applies to this procurement. Details on Pass/Fail and the criteria is outlined within Document One and the Evaluation Templates. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef9aa182-fd1a-4e4d-b90a-6ab3a0e16bd4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 4 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Sep 2023 - 24 Sep 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RUSHCLIFFE BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | MELTON MOWBRAY | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE13 1GH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Melton | | Electoral ward | Melton Warwick | | Westminster constituency | Melton and Syston | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 79600000 - Recruitment services ## Release History - 3 Jul 2023 at 15:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef9aa182-fd1a-4e4d-b90a-6ab3a0e16bd4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef9aa182-fd1a-4e4d-b90a-6ab3a0e16bd4 3rd July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ To express interest and access the tender documents, please use the website address below searching under Rushcliffe Borough Council as the buyer ## Notice URLs - http://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
