Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.11) Main features of the award procedure
The Authority is procuring under SECTION 7, of the PCR 2015, Social and Other Specific Services also known as Light Touch Regime (LTR). The Authority is using a process similar to the bid procedure described in Regulation 27 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended). However, the Authority reserves the right to deviate from the formalities of the procedure given the flexibilities permitted by Regulation 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) in the conduct of procurements for "light regime" services." DCC will be using the LTR services, and the Authority will be taking advantage of the significant flexibility available to them under the light regime in developing its procurement process.
The Authority is looking to award to multiple suppliers across the whole of the region.
Bidders are requested to submit Expressions of Interest, via the secure procurement portal. Sealed bids will be released after the closing time and date. To qualify bidders must pass a Selection questionnaire and prices must be within the stated price limits. Bids will then be assessed on the quality of the submission, using a transparent scoring matrix.
