Contracts awarded to individual residential / nursing homes

Shortlisting
The OSL lots relate to the location from which the Bidder is intending to deliver the Services from (i.e. the residential care / nursing home in question). The seven (7) OSLs will be structured as seven (7) separate lot opportunities as follows: • OSL 1 - Derwentside (Lot 1); • OSL 2 - Chester le Street (Lot 2); • OSL 3 - Wear Valley (Lot 3); • OSL 4 - Durham (Lot 4); • OSL 5 - Easington (Lot 5); • OSL 6 - Teesdale (Lot 6); and • OSL 7 - Sedgefield (Lot 7). Please note that Bids can only be made in respect of Homes that are constructed, fully operational and CQC registered at the point of Bid submission. The Council will reject any Home or Homes that do not meet any one of these requirements. If multiple Homes are included with any particular Bid, and any one or more of such Homes do not meet any of these requirements, the Council may at its sole discretion accept any of the compliant Homes contained in the Bid into the relevant Lot(s) subject to the Bidder and Bid satisfying the (remaining) requirements in the ITT and ITT Response Document without excluding the entire Bid to the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of the Council, doing so does not affect the delivery of Services for those remaining compliant Homes.
