What is being bought

Published requirement description

Woodlands Juvenile Justice Centre is part of the Youth Justice Agency for Northern Ireland and is the only custodial facility for children and young people remanded or sentenced by the courts. Woodlands has been designed as a centre of excellence within a secure environment, offering a wide range of services and support to help prevent young people from re-offending. It provides a safe, secure and stimulating environment for up to 48 boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 17. It also operates as a place of safety with respect to the Police and Criminal Evidence Order. The children and young people cared for within secure environments are often some of society’s most vulnerable. These are young people with high levels of complex needs, who become completely dependent on the system and those professionals who work within it. The YJA wish to engage a contractor to supply registered nurses for the provision of Nursing to staff the Healthcare department at the Juvenile Justice Centre (JJC). The Contract will be for an initial period of one year, with the option to extend for a further one year period. Please refer to the Specification for full details of the requirements.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The UK does not have any special review body with responsibility for appeal/ mediation procedures in public procurement competitions. Instead, any challenges are dealt with by the High Court, Commercial Division, to which proceedings may be issued regarding alleged breaches of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).

Publisher note: Please note that information relating to contractors engaged by the Northern Ireland Department of Justice, and associated bodies. is not published in any publicly accessible forum or publication. This is to protect such contractors, whose security and safety could. be threatened by dissident terrorist organisations still active in Northern Ireland if their details became known. This is consistent with. Regulation 50(6)(a). The estimated contract values are broad estimates only, include additional quantum for. unforeseen demand and to future proof for additional potential users. The estimates are not deemed to be a condition of contract nor a guarantee of minimum demand or uptake. No compensation will be payable to a contractor should the actual demand be less than that stated. Contract monitoring: the successful Contractor's performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a Contractor fails. to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance, and this contract may be terminated. The issue of a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance will result in the Contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Public Procurement Policy for a period of up to 3 years from the date of issue of the notice.
