Requirements for Age Assessments are only relevant for Hampshire County Council. In the last 12 months the Council has had 80 age assessments where an appropriate adult was required.\nTo support interested suppliers the Authorities are sharing the most recent annual volumes to act as a guide to the indicative levels of demand for this service. .This is an indicative figure and the Authorities offer no guarantee around any levels of work. The successful supplier will meet the demand inline with the requirements of the specification for the tendered price.\nTotal Usage 10,450 hours of which\nVulnerable Adults\nPortsmouth City Council - 1,574 hours\nPolice and Crime Commissioner (covering Southampton, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight) 6,636 hours (this has since increased by approximately 400 hours a year)\nChildren\nPortsmouth City Council YJS - 529 hours\nSouthampton City Council YJS - 501 hours\nIsle Of Wight Council YJS - 107 hours\nHampshire County Council YJS - 1,081 hours\nGovernance\nThe Service is commissioned in collaboration by Hampshire County Council, Southampton City Council, Portsmouth City Council, Isle of Wight Council, and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and Isle of Wight.\nHampshire County Council will tender the Service on behalf of the collaborating authorities. Contracts will be issued by each Local Authority and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and Isle of Wight, i.e. there will be five contracts. Each collaborating authority will use the Document 3 - terms and conditions as its template for terms and conditions.\nThe tender documents use the term contract or contracts meaning the resulting five separate contracts that the successful Tenderer will enter into with each contracting authority.\nFor the purposes of this award notice the number of legal entities submitting tenders was only three but these relate to 5 separate individual contracts, hence it displays as 15 tenders received.",

Requirements for Age Assessments are only relevant for Hampshire County Council. In the last 12 months the Council has had 80 age assessments where an appropriate adult was required.\nTo support interested suppliers the Authorities are sharing the most recent annual volumes to act as a guide to the indicative levels of demand for this service. .This is an indicative figure and the Authorities offer no guarantee around any levels of work. The successful supplier will meet the demand inline with the requirements of the specification for the tendered price.\nTotal Usage 10,450 hours of which\nVulnerable Adults\nPortsmouth City Council - 1,574 hours\nPolice and Crime Commissioner (covering Southampton, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight) 6,636 hours (this has since increased by approximately 400 hours a year)\nChildren\nPortsmouth City Council YJS - 529 hours\nSouthampton City Council YJS - 501 hours\nIsle Of Wight Council YJS - 107 hours\nHampshire County Council YJS - 1,081 hours\nGovernance\nThe Service is commissioned in collaboration by Hampshire County Council, Southampton City Council, Portsmouth City Council, Isle of Wight Council, and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and Isle of Wight.\nHampshire County Council will tender the Service on behalf of the collaborating authorities. Contracts will be issued by each Local Authority and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and Isle of Wight, i.e. there will be five contracts. Each collaborating authority will use the Document 3 - terms and conditions as its template for terms and conditions.\nThe tender documents use the term contract or contracts meaning the resulting five separate contracts that the successful Tenderer will enter into with each contracting authority.\nFor the purposes of this award notice the number of legal entities submitting tenders was only three but these relate to 5 separate individual contracts, hence it displays as 15 tenders received.",

    "riskDetails": "Devolution/Local Government Reform \nThe government wants all remaining two-tier areas in England to be eventually restructured into single-tier unitary authorities and is termed Local Government Reform (LGR). This reorganisation is part of a broader devolution strategy to simplify local government structures, save public funds, and improve local accountability. It is anticipated, that during the life of this contract, the LGR process will progress potentially impacting this contract. Impacts most likely will include novations of the legal entities you may contract with. There are assignment clauses within the Contract Terms and Conditions that allow us to assign, novate etc. the agreements to another body. ",
