thousand pounds (£450,000) over the initial three (3) years.

The anticipated commencement date for the Contract is 1st April 2022.

The anticipated expiry date for the Contract is 31st March 2025, with the option to extend

Lot #1The Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the "Council") is conducting this procurementAwardedRenewal 3 yrsPublished value£750,000

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the "Council") is conducting this procurement

process under the "Light Touch" regime of Regulations 74 to 77 of the Public Contract

Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) (the "PCR 2015"). This procurement exercise will therefore

be run in accordance with the PCR 2015 as they apply to "Light Touch" services.

Tenders are invited by the Council from Providers with relevant experience and ability to

demonstrate sufficient capacity for the provision of HIV Support and Prevention Services

(the "Services)

The anticipated commencement date for the Contract is 1st April 2022.

The anticipated expiry date for the Contract is 31st March 2025, with the option to extend

for a further period of twenty four (24) months.

Invitations to Tender will be advertised and managed through the regional procurement

portal, which is available at the address set out in Section I.1 of this Notice

(www.yortender.co.uk ↗). Interested economic operators for the service must express their

interest in this opportunity via YORtender, by downloading the documentation and

submitting their full tender response by the deadline detailed at Section lV.2.2 of this notice.

Bidders should submit both their completed Selection Questionnaires (SQ) and Supplier

Submission Document (full Tender response) together by the deadline for initial tenders.

Bidders should note that their Tender responses will only be evaluated substantively once

suitability of the Bidders has been assessed in accordance with the selection criteria and

minimum levels of suitability, as detailed in the SQ. Bidders who fail to satisfy the minimum

requirements stipulated in the SQ will be eliminated from the process at this stage and their

Tender response will not be subject to further evaluation.

The Service is likely to be subject to the implications of the Acquired Rights Directive

EU2001/23/EC and the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations

2006 (SI 2006/246) (as amended)("TUPE"). However, it is a matter for the economic

operators to determine for themselves whether or not TUPE applies, and it is strongly

recommended by the Contracting Authority that economic operators seek their own

independent professional advice (including any legal, financial or actuarial advice) in this

respect in order to fully understand the potential consequences of TUPE before compiling

and submitting their Tender. Some high level anonymised TUPE liability information is

available from the Contracting Authority on receipt of a signed NDA, refer to the Information

and Instructions Document.

    The minimum criteria for consideration of this contract is described in the Selection Questionnaire document, under the scoring and assessment section. Qualitative and financial criteria are outlined in the Invitation to Tender document, including minimum score thresholds for qualitative criteria. The Council reserves the right to exclude any Bidder whom they deem to not satisfy any criteria outlined within the Tender Documentation (available from the address at 1.3 above).

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Review and risk notes
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 will incorporate

a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the award

of the Contract is communicated to economic operators. This period allows 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 Regulations2015 (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: the Contract relates to services that fall under the "light touch" regime of Regulations
