“In accordance with Regulation 27 (5), the Authority is reducing the time limit for receipt of tenders to 15 days from the date of this contract notice as the time limit laid down in regulation 27 paragraph (2) is impracticable due to the urgency of this requirement. This requirement is urgent due to the impact on operational delivery as an Authority Join Service Publication (JSP 893) has recently been amended which implements new measures which restrict staff employment and existing roles who require Disclosure and Baring Service (D&BS) checks. The Tri Services have highlighted that the current delays to D&BS clearances are having a negative impact on key service areas and it is imperative that a newly improved service is implemented in the most timely manner possible.”
