- Suitability
TUPE may apply to this Contract . Bidders must consider the applicability of TUPE independently using the information provided in the Invitation to Tender documentation.
The Authority does not warrant the accuracy of information obtained from a Contractor as they are not our employees and we are not involved in the exercise to determine whether the employees are assigned to transfer or not. This is for each prospective bidder to decide, and the Authority (UHNM) accepts no responsibility or any liability for the company’s final decision. Bidders should also note that pension requirements as a result of TUPE are a condition of final Contract award
