two.1.4) Short description

The procurement process is structured to contain 2 lots. Lot 1 is for Play provision and seeks to appoint play providers capable of

delivering play opportunities for CYP aged 5 to 14 years across the county borough. Lot 2 is for Youth provision and seeks to appoint

youth providers capable of delivering youth opportunities for CYP aged 11 to 25 years across the county borough . Both opportunities will

require providers to deliver freely chosen open access opportunities from various sites across RCT.

The services to be procured under this ITT are applicable to regulations 74-77 under chapter 3 for Social and other specific services known

as “Light Touch Regime”. Therefore, the Council is not obliged to comply with the full extent of the Regulations, only those parts which

apply to the Light Touch Regime. This process will operate as an 'Approved List' that will quality assure providers. In order to obtain a

position on the 'Approved List' providers will need to pass a questionnaire.

The approved list is in its 2nd Stage, meaning the approved list will remain open and available for the approved list duration (2 year initial

period, and options to extend on an annual basis subject to reviews and funding), allowing new providers to express their interest and apply

to join one or both Lots at any time. Unsuccessful Providers will also be given the opportunity to reapply until successful.
