Gateway 3 Contract Award: Supported Living for Adults Over the Age of 18

Minutes:

Background:

 

This report provided details of the outcome of the procurement exercise and sought permission to award the first round of the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the purchase of Supported Living for Adults over the age of 18. The new contract would cover a period of 48 months.

 

The report had been considered by the Procurement Board on 21 December 2022.

 

An Exempt Appendix set out key information in respect of financial analysis, the tender process and evaluation and recommended providers to admit to the DPS which had met the Council’s evaluation criteria. This included 12 new providers, whose lots had not been specified and would be determined during mobilisation.  The Cabinet were provided with an addendum Exempt Appendix, tabled at the meeting, which provided the outcome for the new providers against allocated lots, following evaluation by officers.

 

The Council's decision to award these contracts would be subject to observing the procurement standstill period of a minimum of 10 days in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Council would be unable to conclude the framework agreement before the end of the standstill period.
