The brief

Description from OJEU Contract Notice Crown Commercial Service as the contracting authority is putting in place a pan government Framework Agreement for use by UK public sector bodies identified at VI.3 (and any future successors to these organisations), which include Central Government Departments and their Arm's Length Bodies and Agencies, Non Departmental Public Bodies, NHS bodies and Local Authorities.

The above contracting authority(s) have a need for Grants and Programmes Services (GP&S).

The Services covered by this Procurement have been sub-divided into 5 Lots, namely: Lot 1: G&PS Administration Services Lot 2: Communication, Promotions and Support to understand G&PS Lot 3: G&PS Policy Design and Implementation Lot 4: G&PS Programme Evaluation Lot 5: G&PS Managed Service Each Lot sets out the scope of work that a Supplier may be required to undertake under each lot.

Contracting Authority Call Off requirements under a Lot may be for one, any number and combination of, or all the Services within that specific Lot.

Potential Providers have the opportunity to bid for any of Lots 1 to 4.

Please be aware that Lot 5 is different from the other Lots (1-4) in terms of bidding requirements in that you do not bid directly for, but express an interest in Lot 5, and become eligible to be awarded Lot 5 by virtue of having bid for and been successful at all of Lots 1, 2 and 3 inclusive.

If you are successful at Lots 1, 2 and 3 inclusive you will be eligible to be awarded Lot 5, either as Lot 5 on its own (if you have indicated in your response to Attachment 2, Participation requirement and Selection Questionnaire SQ1.3 that you only want to be awarded Lot 5) or as part of a multiple lot award i.e.

Lots 1, 2, 3 & 5.

If you fail to be successful at any Lot out of Lots 1, 2 or 3 you cannot be considered for award of Lot 5, either on its own or as part of a multi Lot award.

If you have expressed an interest in Lot 5 or are bidding for other Lots as well as having expressed an interest in Lot 5, then failure to get the required Lots for award of Lot 5 will not prevent you from being considered for (in line with evaluation procedures at paragraphs 9 onward in this Attachment 1 ITT) and being successful in any of the other Lot(s) that you have bid for (i.e.

Lots 1, 2, 3 or 4) Potential Providers may bid for and be successful (in accordance with evaluation procedures and final decision to award to paragraphs 8 and 12) on multiple lots i.e. successful suppliers will not be limited on the number of Lots they may appear on.
