Technical requirements: The intention is to use the HCP approach for the integration of a range of systems, interventions and services in order to improve outcomes for children, young people, their families and communities, with a focus on mental and emotional health and wellbeing.
In accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract or conclude a framework agreement), Regulation 87 (Standstill periods) and Chapter 6 (Applications to Court) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), the Contracting Authority will incorporate a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the conclusion of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows any unsuccessful tenderer(s) to seek further debriefing from the Contracting Authority before the award of the contract. Such additional information should be requested from the address at Sections I.1 andI.3 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, declares the Contract to be ineffective.
The intention is to use the HCP approach for the integration of a range of systems, interventions and services in order to improve outcomes for children, young people, their families and communities, with a focus on mental and emotional health and wellbeing.
