Section VI: Complementary information
VI.3) Additional information
The services subject of the procurement are LTR services within the meaning of Part 2, Chapter 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
For Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, MKC and MKCCG anticipates these contracts to operate like a framework agreement where MKC and MKCCG will allocate packages based on its requirements.
For Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 a contract has been awarded to the bidders scoring the highest in accordance with the MEAT for the relevant zone. Three (3) bidders have been allocated to zones 1, 2 and 4; four (4) bidders have been allocated to zone 3. Each successful bidder has been allocated to one zone only. Evaluation was in accordance with the published criteria with those bidders meeting the 60 % quality threshold then being evaluated on price; the evaluation panel then consider the information provided regarding zone preference and allocate successful bidders to a zone. Allocation to a zone was at the discretion of the Council. In each zone, work packages will be allocated on a rotational basis in alphabetical order.
Lot 5: Was not awarded.
Lot 6: For those bidders who met the 60 % quality threshold there was no restriction on the number of Providers that were awarded a contract. Lot 6 work will be allocated on the basis of cheapest hourly rate first and then go up the scale as capacity requires, except where there is a need to match specific providers to children based on specialist skills.
For the purposes of Regulation 72(1)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, MKC and MKCCG anticipate that during the term of the contracts awarded following this procurement, additional services may come into scope for provision under the contracts. The anticipated additional services are night provision, recuperation services and additional block capacity for winter pressures.
MKC and MKCCG reserve the right to run further mini competitions over the duration of the contract, under any of the Lots, for the provision of any parts of the services and for the provision of any of the additional services.
In relation to Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 the Council reserves the right to re-open the tender and appoint other providers where the number of Service Providers in any zone falls to below three (3) for any reason.
The Council further reserves the right to increase the number of Service Providers in each zone or in any zone, to more than three (3) during the term of contract where this is necessary. Where the requirement to replace or increase number of providers occurs within the first year of the contract, the Council may make such replacement or additions by appointing from those bidders who participated in the original tender, met any specified requirements, but did not in the first instance rank in the top three bidders for the relevant zones.
There is no guarantee by MKC and MKCCG of any volume of work under the contracts awarded for this procurement. The contract value is variable as subject to call-offs. The value quoted is the estimated budget value over the term of the contract.
