The service sits under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) of services within the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, which applies to ‘certain social and other specific services' namely health care, social care, education, cultural and certain other services. The regime allows the Council to design its own procedure for LTR procurements provided that the process complies with the principles of equal treatment and transparency and builds in time limits that are reasonable and proportionate. As the contract value was above the current threshold of £663,540 (inclusive of VAT) a procurement process similar to the open procedure was undertaken in line with Contract Standing Orders.
Camden led on the procurement on behalf of both councils. The procedure used was similar to an open procedure.
