The Procurement Process

The Services required under this procurement fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) and is therefore not bound by all of its requirements. Consequently, the procurement process adopted by the Council has been developed in accordance with Regulation 76 of the regulations and in particular in accordance with the fundamental public procurement principles of transparency and equal treatment.

The Council will follow its own modified (pseudo) version of the Framework process prescribed under regulation 33. The modified process reflects the importance of the statutory requirements of the Council to the Children and Young People requiring support, the immediate nature of the services and maintains the principles of fairness, openness and transparency.
