The Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to respond to this invitation to tender (ITT) exercise to establish an RBG Public Health Framework.
The Framework is comprised of four Lots. This includes Lot 1 Sexual Health Services, Lot 2 Preventative Health Services, Lot 3 Drug & Alcohol Services and Lot 4 Combination Lot for integrated services.
RBG is establishing a flexible Framework Agreement which deviates from traditional Framework Agreements in that it is designed to enable new providers to be admitted to it during its term.
The evaluation process to appoint potential framework providers on to this Framework will be a one-stage procedure involving the Standard Selection Questionnaire (SSQ) which will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. With additional specific scored questions which will be asked in relation to Lot 1 Sexual Health Services, Lot 2 Preventive Health Services and Lot 3 Drug & Alcohol Services. Tenderers who pass the required minimum standards will be appointed onto the relevant lots.
Tenderers who are appointed to two Lots or more (from Lot 1 Sexual Health Services, Lot 2 Preventive Health Services and Lot 3 Drug & Alcohol Services) will automatically be appointed to Lot 4 Combination Lot for integrated services.
This procurement adheres to the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) competitive procedure. This Framework may also be used with the agreement of the Royal Borough of Greenwich by the six South East London (SEL) Boroughs and the South East London (SEL) Integrated Commissioning Board.
