Abstract

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the "Council") is conducting this procurement exercise, in accordance with the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), and intends to establish an Electronic Market Place ("EMP") with Providers with relevant experience and ability for the provision of Supported Accommodation to looked after or care leavers aged 16+.

The Council established a 16+ Supported Accommodation Electronic Market Place (EMP) to meet its duties under the Children's Act 1989 & 2004 when securing a Supported Accommodation placement for either;

· a looked after child is placed in an 'other arrangements' placement

or

· · a care leaver is placed in 'suitable

accommodation'

The Council requires four types of provision, which are aligned with Ofsted's four categories of supported accommodation, as set out below:

· Category 1 - Supported Accommodation in a self-contained unit

The accommodation is for the sole use of the child or for the child and other individuals living with the child (For example; partner, sibling or children) as agreed by the Council.

· Category 2 - Supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation (Ring fenced for looked after children and care leavers only)

The accommodation is for looked after children and care leavers only. There may be care leavers over the age of 18 living at the accommodation. Each child will have their own bedroom but will share communal areas (For example: kitchen, or a living area.)

· Category 3 - Supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation (Not limited to looked after children and care leavers)

The supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation in premises which are not limited to accommodating looked after children and care leavers. Each child will have their own bedroom but will share communal areas (For example: kitchen, or a living area.)

· Category 4 - Supported accommodation provided by an individual or individuals in a private residence (which is the main residence of that individual or individuals)

Children are accommodated in a private residence. This is accommodation hosted by an individual (or

Individuals) such as supported lodgings.

This EMP is anticipated to run from 01 April 2024 to 31 March 2034.

The value of the Services to be awarded through this EMP is estimated to be approximately £3,000,000.00 (three million pounds) per annum.

Call off for the provision of Supported

Accommodation Services 16+ for the council o f the borough of Kirklees. Proposals were invited from the Council from shortlisted capable economic operators currently on the Electronic Marketplace KMCCYP-192 for the period of 1st April 2025 - 30th June 2025

Section VI: Complementary information

VI.3) Additional information

Tenderers are advised this process is a competitive procurement exercise conducted in the form of a Restricted Procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contracting authorities do not commit to following the procedure precisely and reserve the right to vary the procedure from that of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 where necessary as detailed within the information and Instructions for tenderers. The contracting

authorities consider that this EMP may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.

VI.4) Procedures for review

VI.4.1) Review body

High Court of England & Wales

London

UK

VI.4.3) Review procedure

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:

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 incorporated a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point

that information on the award of the Contract was communicated to economic operators. This period allowed 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 Regulations 2015 (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.
