Publisher note: As set out in section II.1.4, Short description, this Contract Notice confirms that the Flexible Framework Agreement has now been established and remains open for new Providers ("New Entrants") to participate throughout the Open Period. This Procurement process is subject to the Law and Guidance applicable in Scotland relative to the award of public contracts including (without limitation) as set out in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 as currently in force. As such, this Notice relates to the use of a procedure based upon the Open Procedure to establish a Flexible Framework with variations as permitted under the Regulations. Full details of the requirements of this Flexible Framework Agreement (including permitted variations and contract conditions) are available in the Procurement Documents contained within the relevant project on PCS-T: Project_25284, ITT_56345. In line with the published Flexible Framework Terms, should any of the defined terms, procedures or any other regulated matter become subject to any change in the Law, resulting in any change to the defined terms, or to the manner in which such procedures or other matters require to be dealt with, then such changes shall take precedence over that contained in the flexible framework. As such, workforce matters which change as a result of the implementation of national policy directives will be considered in line with the framework variation procedures. All staff and those providing the Service must be suitably qualified and registered with the relevant regulatory body/ies in order to provide the Service in Scotland. Further clarifications on additional Insurances that may be required for the delivery of Services have been requested in the SPD (Professional Indemnity where applicable and Medical Malpractice where applicable). Applicants will be required to confirm whether they intend to subcontract any share of the contract to third parties and, if so, to complete the relevant sections of the SPD for each subcontractor. Scotland Excel, as a central purchasing body, has established this flexible framework for the use and benefit of its members namely 32 local authorities in Scotland, Tayside Contracts and together with any Integration Authority, or other body, established pursuant to the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014. Scotland Excel local authority members are entitled to use this framework. The above is subject to each contracting authority entering into and maintaining a membership agreement or other access agreement with Scotland Excel. Applications may be excluded from evaluation (in whole, or in part) if they do not include the information required in accordance with instructions given. Applicant Information Session Slides and Frequently Asked Questions are available in the Buyers Attachment Area of the ITT. (SC Ref:811499)
