What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe University of Hertfordshire is conducting a tender exercise in order to set up a contract for the provision of Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) Assessment Services. It is expected that it may be necessary to offer multiple contracts to suitably qualified and experienced suppliers in order to provide the service required. The number of suppliers on the framework will be a maximum of three. It is anticipated that the contract will be awarded 1st May 2024 and will run from the 1st of August 2024 for three (3) years until 31st July 2027. At the end of the first three years the University will have an option to extend for a further two years to 31st July 2029 in twelve month increments. This is subject to satisfactory performance of the contract(s). Requirements may vary throughout the academic year so the successful bidders will need to be flexible in order to meet changing demand. The University reserves the right not to use the service as the contract is based on student demand.

- Technical & professional ability
Execution of the service is reserved to a particular profession
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “SPLD Assessment Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
