    "description": "This is an Award Notice. Hertfordshire County Council went out to procurement for the Provision of Residential Placements for Children and Young People aged 7 years and Above with Complex Needs across four sites – Brickendon, Cassiobury, Clothall and Melbourn.\nThe Council wishes to procure separate ‘Block Contract’ arrangements to provide Ofsted registered residential homes for Children and Young People aged 7 to 18 with complex needs. This will be divided into four Lots .  \nThe Council procured this contract using the Open Procedure as defined in the Procurement Act 2023.\nThe Council reserves the right at any time to cease the procurement process and not award a Contract or to award only part of the opportunity described in this notice. If the Council takes up this right, then they will not be responsible for or pay the expenses or losses, which may be incurred by any organisation or tenderer as a result. \nLot 2 - Melbourn and Lot 4 - Brickendon have not been awarded. \nLot 2 - Melbourn\nThe decision has been made not to proceed with the award of this contract as per section 3.5 of the ITT.  This is due to a change in requirement to the original contract that was not known at the time of tender. We appreciate the time and effort put in by tenderers, and understand this will be disappointing, however the Council anticipates re-tendering this alongside an additional property within the next few months.\nLot 4 - Brickendon\nThe decision has been made not to proceed with the award of this contract as per section 3.5 of the ITT.  This is due to a change in requirement to the original contract that was not known at the time of the tender.  We appreciate the time and effort put in by tenderers, and understand this will be disappointing, however the Council intends to re-issue a tender opportunity  for this Lot within the next few months.\nThe Council regrets the necessity for this action, but revised requirements are essential in ensuring the delivery of the right outcomes. \nYou will be notified on In-Tend of any future procurement for this service. The Council’s current intention is that a new procurement for the Services may be commenced, once the Council have been able to review and revise the requirements.",

    "description": "Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of Residential Placements for Children and Young People aged 7 years and Above with Complex Needs across four sites – Brickendon, Cassiobury, Clothall and Melbourn.\nThe Council wishes to procure separate ‘Block Contract’ arrangements to provide Ofsted registered residential homes for Children and Young People aged 7 to 18 with complex needs. This will be divided into four Lots . Providers may apply for one or more Lots. Each Lot will be assessed independently.  \nThe Council is offering the opportunity to visit the sites from the 21st of October to the 23rd of October 2025.  Please ensure you contact: cyp.cla@hertfordshire.gov.uk to confirm your attendance by noon on 17th October 2025. Due to practicalities on site, the Council will need to limit numbers to two (2) per Provider in the first instance. However, if there is spare capacity nearer the time of the visit we will do our best to accommodate additional numbers. Please advise when confirming your attendance if you want to be considered for additional places and these will be granted on a first come first served basis. \nThe Council will procure this contract using the Open Procedure as defined in the Procurement Act 2023\nFull details of the requirement and context of the procurement can be found in the Service Specification of the Contract Document.

    "riskDetails": "The Contract will be based on the Council’s standard terms. \nIn furtherance of the UK Government’s plans for English devolution, Hertfordshire County Council (HCC)  is consulting on plans for the reorganisation of local government structures in its county. This reorganisation may result in the county, district and borough councils of Hertfordshire being re-organised into a multi tiered unitary authority. HCC is required to submit its full plan for re-organisation to UK Government by November 2025, and any changes are estimated to take effect in April 2028 (although this is subject to change). Such changes could directly affect the structure, scope, or continuation of the contract beyond 1st April 2028. Whilst it is anticipated that existing contracts will be novated to the replacement authority,  HCC can offer no guarantee at this stage.",

    "description": "Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of Residential Placements for Children and Young People aged 7 years and Above with Complex Needs across four sites – Brickendon, Cassiobury, Clothall and Melbourn.\nThe Council wishes to procure separate ‘Block Contract’ arrangements to provide Ofsted registered residential homes for Children and Young People aged 7 to 18 with complex needs. This will be divided into four Lots . Providers may apply for one or more Lots. Each Lot will be assessed independently.  \nThe Council is offering the opportunity to visit the sites from the 21st of October to the 23rd of October 2025.  Please ensure you contact: cyp.cla@hertfordshire.gov.uk to confirm your attendance by noon on 17th October 2025. Due to practicalities on site, the Council will need to limit numbers to two (2) per Provider in the first instance. However, if there is spare capacity nearer the time of the visit we will do our best to accommodate additional numbers. Please advise when confirming your attendance if you want to be considered for additional places and these will be granted on a first come first served basis. \nThe Council will procure this contract using the Open Procedure as defined in the Procurement Act 2023\nFull details of the requirement and context of the procurement can be found in the Service Specification of the Contract Document. Organisations wishing to take part in this project are invited to ‘express an interest’ and also ‘opt in’ which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system. \nTo be considered as a Tenderer you must complete and submit a Tender by the deadline of 12 noon on the 14th November 2025.\nPlease allow sufficient time to make your return, as Tender submissions cannot be uploaded and submitted after this return deadline. \nPlease ensure that where possible documents are uploaded as a PDF and that file names are succinct. Any questions relating to this procurement must be made via correspondence on the website, in accordance with the procurement documents, and can be addressed to the main contact as shown in the details above. \nTenderers should be aware that due to the nature of the Services provided, any Contract formed as a result of this procurement process shall be executed as a deed. Tenderers should seek independent legal advice on the implications of this prior to submitting their Tender, where appropriate. Please note that the contract requirements will be subject to available financial resources, supplier performance and flexibility to meet changing demands. \nTo access this opportunity please visit https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home.\nIf you are experiencing problems In-Tend offer a help section which includes a dedicated UK support desk which can be contacted via email: support@in-tend.co.uk or Telephone: +44 1144070065 for any website/technical questions, Monday to Friday, 8:30-17:00. \nThe Council reserves the right at any time to cease the procurement process and not award a Contract or to award only part of the opportunity described in this notice.

    "riskDetails": "The Contract will be based on the Council’s standard terms. \nIn furtherance of the UK Government’s plans for English devolution, Hertfordshire County Council (HCC)  is consulting on plans for the reorganisation of local government structures in its county. This reorganisation may result in the county, district and borough councils of Hertfordshire being re-organised into a multi tiered unitary authority. HCC is required to submit its full plan for re-organisation to UK Government by November 2025, and any changes are estimated to take effect in April 2028 (although this is subject to change). Such changes could directly affect the structure, scope, or continuation of the contract beyond 1st April 2028. Whilst it is anticipated that existing contracts will be novated to the replacement authority,  HCC can offer no guarantee at this stage.",
