Authority to invite tenders for short break services for disabled children and young people
Meeting: 14/03/2011 - Executive (Item 6)
A report was approved by the Executive on 18th January 2010 to invite tenders for framework contracts for the provision of Short Break Services provided for disabled children and young people in their own home, as required by Contract Standing Orders 88 and 89. Due to need to achieve ever greater efficiencies and in view of the additional suppliers in this market, an alternate process of tendering the service is now envisioned with the establishment of multiple provider frameworks rather than single provider frameworks.
Decision:
(i) that approval be given to the pre-tender considerations and the criteria to be used to evaluate tenders as set out in paragraph 4.1 of the report from the Director of Children and Families;
(ii) that approval be given to the invite of tenders for three multiple provider frameworks and their evaluation in accordance with the approved evaluation criteria referred to in (i) above.
Minutes:

Due to the need to achieve ever greater efficiencies and in view of the additional suppliers in this market, an alternate process of tendering the service was now envisioned with the establishment of multiple provider frameworks rather than single provider frameworks allowing needs to be met more broadly.
