The Council of the City of Wakefield has undertaken a Competitive Dialogue procedure under the Public Contract Regulation 2006 (as amended) to procure both a public contract (‘the Contract’) and a framework agreement (‘the Framework Agreement’) (see below).
The Contracting Authority has procured a contract for its own benefit and for others to whom it has an obligation to provide certain services. It is anticipated that the Contract will cover a wide range of services and some works elements (‘the Services’) including without limitation the following:
The Contract will commence on 31.10.2016 and be for an initial seven (7) year period, with an option to extend by up to a further three (3) years.
In addition, the Contracting Authority has made the benefits of the Services delivered under the Contract available to publicly funded schools and other neighbouring public bodies in the area by procuring the Framework Agreement for the Services and services substantially similar to the Services. The Contracting Authority has acted as a central purchasing body through which the following organisations may choose, but shall not be obliged, to procure some or all of the Services using the Framework Agreement through a call off contract (‘Call Off Contract’):
(1) the other local authorities and publicly funded bodies that are identified in Annex A of this contract award notice (‘the Participating Bodies’); and
(2) all publicly-funded schools and other educational establishments within the geographical areas of the Contracting Authority and the Participating Bodies.
The Framework Agreement will commence on 31.10.2017 and be for a four (4) year period. The duration of individual Call Off Contracts will not necessarily be limited to four years but will be governed by the precise subject matter of the Call Off Contract concerned.
No guarantee or warranty has been given as to the nature or volume, if any, of the Services or the number of call offs, if any, under the Framework Agreement.
It should be noted that in addition to any change in the structure or identify of the Contracting Authority and / or the Participating Bodies in the event of re-structuring within local government, the Contract and Framework Agreement will pass to successor authorities to the Contracting Authority and the Participating Bodies as relevant and appropriate.
1. Although Section II.1.2 identifies Service Category 14, the Contract and Framework Agreement relate to a wide-ranging Contract and it is possible that other Service Categories are also relevant, therefore please refer to the CPV Codes listed in Section II.1.5 as a more detailed description of the Services. In addition, the Services may contain some minor elements of Works.
2. Whilst Section II.1.2 identifies the main place of performance as being Wakefield, it should be noted that the Framework Agreement provides for the provision of the Services across the wider geographical area of Yorkshire and Humber (as represented by NUTS code UKE4).
The Contracting Authority has incorporated a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period from the point when information in the award of the Contract and Framework Agreement was communicated to tenderers. If an appeal regarding the award of the Contract and / or Framework Agreement has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contract Regulations 2006 (SI 2006 No.5) (as amended) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by the breach of the rules to take legal action in the High Court. Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period.
