two.2.4) Description of the procurement

Kirklees Council wishes to procure Housing Related Support Services for Victims / Survivors of Domestic Abuse, including their Children, in a Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation Setting (Non-Designated Buildings) (the "Service").

A range of accommodation settings are required to be able to meet the needs of all Victims / Survivors of Domestic Abuse including Domestic Abuse Refuges and Dispersed Accommodation.

Domestic Abuse Refuges provide self-contained units for Women and Girls aged 16 years and above plus their dependent children, however male children over the age of 16 are not able to live in the accommodation. A refuge is required to have on site staff; staffing times can be determined by the Service Provider.

Dispersed Accommodation is available to any victim / survivor and their family group who cannot move into refuge accommodation either through choice or ineligibity. Dispersed accommodation will not be required to have any on-site staff but staff must be available to provide the required support to each Victim / Survivor and the Provider must have robust risk management arrangements in place to provide safety and security.

There are currently two refuge provisions in the Kirklees areas and this procurement exercise will replace the current contracts.

Lot 1 Kirklees 8 - 12 (currently 8 refuge units)

Lot 2 Kirklees 8 - 12 (currently 10 refuge units)

Accommodation has not been identified for this service. The Provider will need to ensure they have suitable accommodation available, either a refuge, dispersed accommodation units or a mixture of both for the length of the contract. All accommodation units must be within the Kirklees boundary but we are not being descriptive of a particular location. We are looking for between 8 and 12 accommodation units suitable for domestic abuse victims/survivors and their family unit for each Lot.

six.4.3) Review procedure

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 will incorporate a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the award of the Contract is communicated to economic operators. This period allows 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.
