Tenders were invited by Kirklees Council from suppliers for the provision of the Supply and Delivery of Ergonomic Furniture and Associated Services.

The furniture and equipment required will be supplied as part of a process to help individual employees undertake their duties more effectively and help them overcome barriers that may exist due to disability, ill health or other issues which requires the standard equipment provided in the workplace to be improved on.

As well as the provision of the specific physical items it is envisaged that the Supplier will provide qualified advice and guidance on the products needed for individual employees as part of the supply process.

The contract will start on 29 January 2024 and expire on 28 January 2026 with the option to extend for a further two periods of twelve months each, meaning the final possible expiry date is 28 January 2028

Extensions: Option to extend for a further two periods of twelve months eachVariant bids: not allowed

Review procedure

In accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract or conclude a framework),Regulation 87 (Standstill periods) and Chapter 6 (Applications to Court) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), the contracting authority incorporated a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the award of the Contract was communicated to economic operators. This period allowed any unsuccessful economic operator(s) to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the award of the Contract to the successful economic operators. Such additional information should be requested from the address at Sections

I.1 and I.3 of this Notice above. If an appeal regarding the award of the Contract has not been successfully resolved, then the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and

Northern Ireland). Any such action must be started within thirty (30) days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or sought to have grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the time limited for starting

proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason for doing so, but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than three (3) months after that date. Where the

Contract has not been awarded, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If however the

Contract has been awarded, the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the Contract to be ineffective

Publisher note: Provided that the tender is submitted fully in accordance with the requirements set out within the Specification and the remaining sections of the procurement documents, the contract will be awarded on the basis of the Most Economically Advantageous Tender based on 40% Quality and 60% Price. Further specifics on the above award criteria can be found in the procurement documentation that is available to access at https://yortender.eusupply.com/login.asp?B=YORTENDER (https://yortender.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=YORTENDER)
