Publisher note: Bidders should note that the Commissioner intends to include in the scope of this procurement a number of additional areas which may be subject to variation into the contract at a later date. Any payment for these additional services will be in addition to the maximum contract value quoted in II.1.5 above, and bidders will be invited to provide a cost for these additions as part of their Financial Model Template (FMT) submission. These areas are as follows: • Safety restraints (where no mobility issues are present) • Safety restraints (where the individual is a registered wheelchair user) • Power chairs for school use (with dual controls where required) • Attendant only power chairs • Wheelchair power packs Bidders should also note that the contract which is being procured also includes occasional use wheelchairs in its scope. It is expected that during the initial stages of the contract the retention of this service will be subject to public consultation. The specification (see appendix E of Schedule 2 of the contract particulars) includes a requirement of the successful bidder to keep records of the number of requests being made for occasional use wheelchairs in order that an informed decision can be made in conjunction with the results of the public consultation. In the event that a decision is taken to remove occasional use wheelchairs from the service, it is the intention of the Commissioner that an appropriate amount of funding, commensurate with the level of activity for this part of the service, will be varied out of the contract.
