Review procedure

The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).Proceedings must be brought within 30 days from the date of knowledge (the date on which the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen) unless the Court considers that there is good reason for extending the period within which proceedings may be brought, in which case the Court may extend that period up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge.

Publisher note: We reserve the right to update the framework agreement and all schedules or to add new lots where requirements have not been identified at the outset of this framework. If we update any documents or add new lots in this way we will issue a notice to all Providers already on the framework stating that a new specification/lot is available and give all providers already on the framework an opportunity to state whether they wish to provide the new requirement. The framework is for 5 years from January 2019, with the option to extend for up to a further 5 years subject to agreement of Norfolk County Council with the service providers. The Council is subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and will be carrying out this procurement in accordance with the Light Touch Regime which applies to social services. The amount quoted is an estimate, usage will be based on need. If you would like to know more about this procurement, then please register on our etendering system (in-tend) (if you have not so already) and in the tenders section express interest in project NCCT41317.3.OPEN To register on the system go to http://in-tendhost.co.uk/norfolkcc. It is the Council's intention to keep new applications open to the framework and increase capacity in the market. The framework agreement differs from those let under the non light touch regime in that the Council, exercising its flexibility, may let the framework agreements for longer than 4 years and may periodically open the framework for new applicants and/or add new lots. The Council intends to let this framework under Regulations 74 to 77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (Light Touch Regime) under which the Council has flexibility as to the process or procedure to be used when purchasing certain services of which this is one.
