Technical requirements: This framework is for a range of security services required by the council to meet its requirement for security personnel and repairs and maintenance contractors for its security systems. Call-offs from this framework will be on ad-hoc basis as the requirements arise. The framework is divided into the following lots:
Tenderers must bid for all services within individual lot or any multiple lots being tendered in order for their bid to be considered.
The contracting authority will require a contract with 1 legal entity. In the event of a consortium bid, the contracting authority will only enter into a contract with a suitable prime contractor.
The contracting authority shall disqualify firm inclusion in the procurement procedure any tenderer who falls within the circumstances of Regulation 57 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 where that Regulation dictates that the tenderer's exclusion shall be mandatory. Where exclusion of a tenderer is discretionary (or where it would otherwise be mandatory save for an exception or relief that can be applied) the contracting authority reserves the right to exclude the tenderer.
As set out in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire and guidance. A tenderer will be automatically deselected if their annual turnover fails to meet the minimum threshold as contained in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire.
Candidates will be ranked according to their evaluation scores. The top 5 highest ranked bidders on each lot will be invited to tender.
The Council will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the Council as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why the applicant was unsuccessful. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, Chapter 6 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provides for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take legal action. Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order for any document to be amended and may award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order for a fine to be paid, and/or order the duration of the contract be shortened. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.
