+ Standard Call Off (without competition)
Where a Service is required the Council can approach the most suitable Provider for the service required and confirm with the Provider that they are able to provide the service required within the timescales. The capped hourly prices submitted by the Provider in its tender response during the tender process for the Provider Panel Agreement (Pricing Schedule) will be the maximum hourly price for the services. At the time of requesting the services, the Council will ask the Provider to submit their hourly rate which shall not exceed the capped hourly rate. Suitability of the Provider will be determined by the following factors (in no particular order):
- Social Worker / Commissioner / Health Representative's Professional Judgement
- Continuity of care
- Appropriateness of service delivery provision
- Location
- Urgency of requirement
- Price
- Mobilisation period
- Child and / or Family views and wishes
Note - This is not an exhaustive list
+ Call Off with further competition (mini-competition)
The Council may decide to run a call off competition involving the organisations who are on the Panel for the relevant required services. This will be done via NEPO.
In running any competition between some or all organisations on the Panel, the Council will set out the required qualitative and quantitative criteria. This will be detailed at each individual procurement exercise.
The Council will evaluate all bids on relevant price/quality criteria indicated at the time and must not exceed the capped hourly prices submitted during the tender process for the Provider Panel Agreement (Pricing Schedule).
The Provider who submits the most economically advantageous bid will be awarded the Call-Off Contract.
- “Provider Panel for Intensive Support and Crisis Intervention…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
