The procurement contact named on the official notice.
The submission route named on the official notice.
Wolverhampton City Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 155 notices, roughly one every 15 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
30% of Wolverhampton City Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The Outreach Short Breaks Service is a specialist provision providing home-based and community-based support to children and young people assessed as eligible by the SEND FHS.
This service specification has two separate Lots.
Lot One: At home and/or community support Provide care to a child or young person with medium or high needs at home, or to support with accessing community facilities.
Lot Two: Group based community activities Provide group-based community activities for children and young people with medium or complex needs.
The procurement is for services which are considered Light Touch Regime (LTR) services under the Public Frameworks Regulations 2015, as specified in Schedule 3 of the Regulations (“Regulations”).
Accordingly, the Council is only bound by those parts of the Regulations detailed in Chapter 3 ‘Particular Procurement Regimes Section 7, Social and Other Specific Services’ 74 to 76 of the Public Frameworks Regulations 2015.
The Council is not voluntarily following any other part of the Regulations.
The procedure which the Council is following is set out within this ITT.
The agreement is based upon the basic principles of a framework agreement, and although there are some similar aspects, it does not fully operate in the same way as outlined in regulation 33 of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).
The Local Authority will create a “pseudo framework agreement” (based on CCS guidance) and have set out clearly how we intend to operate the framework agreement from the outset through the OJEU notice, Tender Document and Call-off Schedule, which also details the timeline for when it will be reopened.
This meets the duty of transparency and equal treatment, which are the main guidelines to follow when setting up an LTR framework
