To this end the Council has chosen to follow a procurement procedure which is akin to the Open Procedure. For the avoidance of doubt the Council is not required to procure these services in line with the full extent of the 2015 Regulations, and is only obliged to comply with those parts of the 2015 Regulations which apply to the Light Touch Regime. That said, this procurement will follow a clear, structured and transparent process in order to ensure a fair and level playing field is maintained at all time and that all bidders are treated equally and fairly.
The Council reserves the right to award all, part or none of the business forming the subject matter of this procurement and to abandon, halt, postpone this procurement at any time.

It is proposed that existing care packages will transfer to the new Contract. It is therefore expected that The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) - TUPE shall apply. The detail as to the transitional arrangements will be set out in the Invitation to Tender documentation.
