"description": "This Flexible Framework is intended to allow Councils and associate members/other bodies to procure a variety of Care and Support Services, as further described within the procurement documents attached to this contract notice.\nCouncils in Scotland may have their own current arrangements for the purchase of Care and Support Services. Current care packages, agreed under different arrangements, will not necessarily transfer over to this new Flexible Framework. This will be a decision for Councils to make in line with their assessment and review process.\nScotland Excel elects to use the ESPD in this exercise in respect of exclusion grounds and selection criteria for this Flexible Framework, as a matter of best practice. A word version of this document is attached for completion.\nChanges to previously advertised procedures, taking cognisance of the current situation and impact during the tender exercise of the Corona virus outbreak:\nProviders require to evidence possession of the minimum Care Inspection quality criteria of Grade 3 for Care and Support at the time of application to be included in the Flexible Framework (as set out in III.1.4, below), however, having taken cognisance of the impact the Corona Virus pandemic has had on Care Inspectorate inspections, for this current re-opening of the Flexible Framework, Providers may still apply if they reasonably anticipate the Services in their offer meeting the Care Inspectorate Grade quality criteria before the conclusion of the evaluation of all offers, (hereafter referred to as “the evaluation deadline”) currently envisaged to be 1 March 2022, but which date will be notified to Providers by Scotland Excel in writing. If tenderers cannot evidence that they meet all of the criteria in advance of the evaluation deadline (referred to above), Scotland Excel will be unable to proceed to award.\nIn line with the framework specification, should any of the defined terms, procedures or any other regulated matter become subject to any change in the Law, resulting in any change to the defined terms, or to the manner in which such procedures or other matters require to be dealt with, then such changes shall take precedence over that contained in the flexible framework. As such, workforce matters which change as a result of the implementation of national policy directives will be considered in line with the framework variation procedures.\nIMPORTANT NOTE: DATES QUOTED ABOVE MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this process if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, the Invitation to Tender contained on PCS and is relevant to this procurement and the other procurement documents for further information."

A word version of this document is attached for completion.\nChanges to previously advertised procedures, taking cognisance of the current situation and impact during the tender exercise of the Corona virus outbreak:\nProviders require to evidence possession of the minimum Care Inspection quality criteria of Grade 3 for Care and Support at the time of application to be included in the Flexible Framework (as set out in III.1.4, below), however, having taken cognisance of the impact the Corona Virus pandemic has had on Care Inspectorate inspections, for this current re-opening of the Flexible Framework, Providers may still apply if they reasonably anticipate the Services in their offer meeting the Care Inspectorate Grade quality criteria before the conclusion of the evaluation of all offers, (hereafter referred to as “the evaluation deadline”) currently envisaged to be 1 March 2022, but which date will be notified to Providers by Scotland Excel in writing. If tenderers cannot evidence that they meet all of the criteria in advance of the evaluation deadline (referred to above), Scotland Excel will be unable to proceed to award.\nIn line with the framework specification, should any of the defined terms, procedures or any other regulated matter become subject to any change in the Law, resulting in any change to the defined terms, or to the manner in which such procedures or other matters require to be dealt with, then such changes shall take precedence over that contained in the flexible framework. As such, workforce matters which change as a result of the implementation of national policy directives will be considered in line with the framework variation procedures.\nIMPORTANT NOTE: DATES QUOTED ABOVE MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

"description": "Scotland Excel as a central purchasing body, may procure this Flexible Framework on behalf of the following contracting authorities: the 32 Councils in Scotland and associate members are listed at: https://home.scotland-excel.org.uk/about-us/our-members/\nCare Inspectorate Grades - Purchasers may set a locally acceptable minimum Care Inspectorate grade and may only enter into ISAs with\nProviders which meet the required grades.\nPlease note the duration shown at section II.2.7 reflects the remaining period of the Flexible Framework, originally advertised as a total period of 48 months.\nFinancial Stability\nScotland Excel will conduct a financial analysis on tenderers from a credit referencing agency. The tenderer is to confirm that a search will not return a \"Warning\" or \"caution\" returnable code or any neutral code or can provide documents to prove that the tender does/would not represent an unmanageable risk should it be appointed onto the proposed Framework. Tenderers who are unable to demonstrate satisfactory financial stability will be excluded.\nMinimum Insurance Requirements\nPublic Liability\nTo a minimum indemnity limit of ten million pounds Sterling each and every claim. Liability must not exclude abuse and/or molestation\ncover.\nEmployers’ Liability\nTo a minimum indemnity limit of ten million pounds Sterling each and every claim.\nStatutory Third-Party Motor Vehicle Liability\nWhere a vehicle is used in delivery of the Service, statutory third-party motor vehicle cover should be evidenced by way of a valid MV\ncertificate in the company name, OR where there is no company fleet and employees use their own vehicles instead, a letter signed by a\nperson of appropriate authority confirming that the provider has ongoing arrangements in place to ensure that employees' vehicles are\nappropriately insured and maintained for business purposes.\nThe Purchaser may request an increase to the minimum level of insurance cover required or request additional insurance cover when\npurchasing an Individual Support Agreement.\nSubject to Law and Guidance Scotland Excel reserves the right to enter into negotiations on any element following submission, to accept submissions without further negotiation, to award in part or in whole, or not to make any awards.\nThis Flexible Framework is designed for the provision of Care and Support Services delivered and regulated within Scotland. Care and\nSupport Services must operate in accordance with applicable law and guidance.\nNOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Public Contracts Scotland Web Site at https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=665899.\nThe buyer has indicated that it will accept electronic responses to this notice via the Postbox facility. A user guide is available at https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx.\nSuppliers are advised to allow adequate time for uploading documents and to dispatch the electronic response well in advance of the closing time to avoid any last minute problems.\nThe Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason:\nOn assessment of the market, it is unlikely that many provider responses will include proposals to sub-contract elements of the Service.\nCommunity benefits are included in this requirement.
