The opportunity was published on YORTender (the Council's e-tendering service platform) and Contracts finder. The procurement attracted 9 expressions of interest on YORtender and only 2 submissions were received. The evaluation was carried out in line with the advertised criteria and only one of which was viable (being the supplier listed on this notice). This service is niche, and the low level of tender submitted this time reflects historic trend from previous competitive exercises. It is at award stage that it was identified that the notice was not published on the FTS due to a human error. Publishing on the FTS is a mandatory requirement for tenders over the relevant threshold and should be published here before it is published on Contracts Finder The Council is of the view that given the low level of responses for this contract historically, the number of interests it originally generated Vs number of response received that the number of respondents would not be different, and that the evaluation carried out was fair, open and transparent. The publication of this notice is to rectify the non-publication and to award based on the exercise that did take place with some advertising. Consultation with Procurement Legal took place and this publication is intended to publish the outcome of the competitive tender exercise. Publishing on the FTS is a mandatory requirement for tenders over the relevant threshold as well as publishing awards ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018599-2023 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 28 Mar 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £6,587,200 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEEDS CITY COUNCIL - PACS | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 1UR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE42 Leeds | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BID SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 29 Jun 2023 at 17:53 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018599-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.leeds.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
