  • How the procedure runs: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Contract Notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Healthcare Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulation 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and/or Procurement Act 23 do not apply to this award. Competitive flexible procedure description Step 1 - Completeness and Compliance Checks: 1.1.1 Submitted Tenders will initially be checked for compliance with the instructions provided in this document, including confirmation that the documents have been completed fully and correctly and have been signed as requested. Failure to correctly complete and sign all the relevant documentation may result in your Tender being treated as non-compliant and the Tender may be eliminated from the process at this stage and not considered further. 1.1.2 Where a Tender Submission is received from a Tenderer who is not registered on the Central Digital Platform and/or who has not submitted up-to-date core supplier information on the Central Digital Platform, their submission will be rejected from the tender process and no further assessment will be undertaken. Step 2 - Exclusion Grounds 1.1.3 The Council will confirm that neither the Supplier or any Connected Person(s), Associated Person(s) or proposed sub-contractors are listed on the Cabinet Office Debarment List. To the extent that any such entities are listed on the Debarment List, the Council will consider whether to exclude the Supplier from participating in the procurement process. 1.1.4 In addition, the Council will consider whether any Supplier or Connected Person(s), or Associated Person(s) relied on to meet the Basic Selection Criteria are an Excluded or Excludable Supplier, providing the Supplier reasonable opportunity to make representations and provide evidence as is proportionate to the circumstances. If the Supplier is an Excluded or Excludable Supplier only by virtue of an Associated Person, the Council will notify the Supplier of its intention to exclude the Supplier and provide the Supplier with reasonable opportunity to replace the Associated Person. 1.1.5 Where the Council determines that a Supplier is an Excluded Supplier on either of the above grounds, no further assessment of the Tender Submission will be undertaken. Step 3 - Basic Selection Criteria 1.1.6 The suitability of Suppliers will be assessed in accordance with the specified Basic Selection Criteria contained within the Procurement Specific Questionnaire. This will be marked purely on a pass or fail basis to ensure that the Supplier is able to meet the Council's minimum requirements. Tenderers who do not indicate that they meet the Council's minimum Basic Selection Criteria may be excluded from the process at this stage. Step 4 - Key Criteria and Price Assessment 1.1.7 All submitted Tenders which have not been rejected during the previous steps will be assessed to identify the Most Advantageous Tenders.

The basis of the Council's Award Criteria will be based on 100% Key Criteria. Step 5 - Due Diligence Checks 1.1.8 As part of the due diligence process, the supplier information provided on the Central Digital Platform and/ or responses to the Procurement Specific Questionnaire of the shortlisted Suppliers identified at Step 4 will be verified, and any required certification and evidence will be requested. 1.1.9 Where specified levels of insurance are required and Suppliers do not currently hold these, they will be required to provide evidence (for example, a quotation from an insurance provider) that they will be able to obtain the insurance, if awarded the contract. 1.1.10 The Council reserves the right to use other sources of information alongside those provided as part of the Tender to determine the financial stability of the Tenderer/s. This may include a financial assessment or Credit Check. If this indicates a potential concern with the Tenderer's financial standing, such as a Credit Score of less than 50, the Council will discuss the matter with the Tenderer before making a final decision. Based on any information provided, the Council will determine the financial strength of the organisation and may, where appropriate, require parent company guarantees and/or a financial bond to be provided at no additional cost to the Council. 1.1.11 Submission of evidence will be required within five (5) working days of the initial request. Any Supplier failing to provide the information requested within the timeframe, or information that does not satisfactorily evidence responses made, may be excluded from the process at this stage. Should this situation arise, the Council reserves the right to remove the Key Criteria and price scores achieved by the disqualified Tenderer from the assessment process and may commence verification proceedings with the next ranked Tenderer(s). Step 6 - Preferred Supplier Due Diligence (2) 1.1.12 The assessment panel reserve the right to undertake further due diligence with the Preferred Supplier in order to verify that their submission is compliant with the Specification.
