Publisher note: All providers who are successfully admitted to the DPS will be invited to submit tenders for all requirements via a further competition more commonly referred to as a "call off". It is anticipated that there will be multiple call-offs throughout the lifetime of the DPS. For complex or high value matters, WMCA will reserve the right to limit the number of providers that will be invited to Stage 2. To do this we will offer all providers the opportunity to complete and submit the 'Expression of interest' Form. This will contain questions that will form questions that will be pertinent to a particular project to allow us to reduce the number of providers invited to tender. Tender documents will be issued to all interested providers who have been assessed as meeting the criteria in the stage 2 Expression of Interest document. Award criteria weightings for Quality and Commercial Assessment may be varied by up to plus or minus 20 percentage points for individual call-offs. The exact award criteria weighting to be applied will be confirmed in the ITT. Providers attention is specifically drawn to the Order Form in the DPS Agreement that will form the basis of any Call Off. In particular, attention is specifically drawn to the fact that the Call Off Contract terms and conditions may require alteration and Special Conditions to be added as a result of project requirements or funding stream obligations (current or future) placed on the WMCA that have to be flowed down in the Call Off Contract to the provider. Providers will be able to consider such obligations and incorporate any risk or additional costs into their submission. Providers will be notified of the outcome by a letter, which will include the successful provider's scores against the evaluation criteria and will be provided with feedback related to their submission. WMCA will (wherever possible) implement a voluntary standstill period of 10 days. Please note however that whilst this is considered to be best practice WMCA are not bound to implement the voluntary standstill period. WMCA will publish a Contract Award Notice. The pricing range has been estimated to cover the lifetime of the DPS. WMCA reserve the right to amend this at a later date if required. Providers should note that whilst this opportunity has been opened to allow the use of the DPS by other Local Authorities, WMCA do not accept any liability or responsibility for any call-offs undertaken by or on behalf of such Local Authorities. Local Authorities calling off the DPS are responsible for the call off process, the document content, the evaluation, awards and conduct of the Call Offs in their entirety. Following award of call off contracts WMCA foresee the need to make ongoing variations during the term of the Contract to reflect the provision of services and to cover the need to reconcile figures/outputs or milestones in relation to service delivery. The types of foreseen contract variations include the following and will require a variation to be signed by both parties prior to its commencement: Reconciliation Growth There may also be situations that are not included above where contract variations are required. WMCA have referred to these as unforeseen contract variations. Again, this will require a variation to be signed by boy both parties prior to its commencement: In accordance with Regulation 72 (1)(a) of the PCR 2015 WMCA shall not apply the 50% original contract price limit to any foreseen variations as the pricing for such variations would have been included within the Providers pricing schedule. Any reference to original contract price shall be a reference to the annual original contract price as Services can change dramatically subject to demand and available funding.
