Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
The Council of the Borough of Kirklees is conducting this procurement exercise in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102). This exercise is being undertaken within the rules outlined within Section 7 (Social and Other Specific Services) due to the nature of the provision.
In order to become a Provider Applicants will be expected to complete a "pass/fail" Selection Questionnaire, six (6) "Quality" Case Studies and a Core Cost Schedule. Following a desktop evaluation of this information the Council will visit each Applicants venues in order to verify the information supplied as part of the application process.
Following the full evaluation of the application the Council will appoint providers in one of two ways:
Level 1 - those providers who pass the selection questionnaire and who score the highest marks for their "Quality" Case Studies will be awarded Level 1 status. Should Applicants have the same "Quality" marks then the Applicant with the most Economically Advantageous Core Cost will be granted Level 1 status. These providers will operate as the Councils "preferred Providers" and will be given first opportunity to demonstrate how they can support the needs of the Young Person.
Level 2 - those providers who pass the selection questionnaire and who scores are not the highest for their "Quality" Case Studies will be awarded Level 2 status. These providers will NOT operate as the Council's "preferred suppliers" and will only be asked to meet support needs of the Young Person should the Level 1suppliers not be able to do so.
The Council may continue the EMP beyond this period if it wishes to continue to operate it, if it wishes to enter into call-off contracts from it and subject to continued availability of eligible Providers continuing to meet the
8 / 8
requirements and demands of the Service. This provision will be subject to any notice period as stated in any individual agreement.

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
In accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract or conclude a framework),Regulation 87 (Standstill periods) and Chapter 6 (Applications to Court) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), the contracting authority incorporated a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the award of the Contract was communicated to economic operators. This period allowed any unsuccessful economic operator(s) to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the award of the Contract to the successful economic operators. Such additional information should be requested from the address at Sections I.1 and I.3 of this Notice 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, declare the Contract to be ineffective.
