Participants should not infer from any references to the authority using a process or tender documents which are similar to one of the mandatory procedures that the authority is following one of those procedures. The authority is following its own tender process akin to the open procedure for this procurement. The authority reserves the right to award the contract in whole or part, to cancel or amend the tender process, not award the contract in whole or part, and does not bind itself to accept any tender. The authority reserves the right to makes any changes itsees fit to the content and structure of the procurement competition and shall not be liable in any circumstances for any costs, or expenses incurred by any economic organisation in responding to this notice or in tendering for the contract. The contract is for an initial term of 1 year (1.10.23 – 30.9.24) with the option to extend for a further two 1-year periods until 30.9.26. Potential suppliers should note that in accordance with UK Government's policies on transparency the authority may decide to publish the ITT and other tender documents and text from the contract awarded subject to possible redaction at the discretion of the authority. To comply with the public sector equality duties the successful contractor will be expected to comply with the equality and diversity legislation in executing this contract.

If you are not currently subject to UK legislation, documentary evidence of your compliance of equivalent legislation which is designed to eliminate discrimination and to promote equality of opportunity in the Country where you are registered will be required. Under thisprocurement, the contractor will be required to support the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012. The contract mainly reflects services currently being provided by existing organisations, and therefore the EC Acquired Rights Directive 2001/23/EC as amended and/or the transfer of undertakings (protection of employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) may apply to this contract. TUPE information will be made available to those organisations who complete and return a signed data processing and confidentiality agreement, we request these are submitted at the earliest opportunity through a correspondence on the Intend procurement portal. This opportunity will not be split up into multiple lots. This decision was made because this is a relatively small provider market and a very specific service is being tendered for, meaning that a lotting of areas may lose potential economies of scale and therefore value to the contracting authority.
