two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The three Extra Care Schemes in Kirklees are part of a 20 year Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract with a consortium of companies called JLW Excellent Homes for Life Ltd. The schemes provide 140 flats for older people: Two schemes, Meadow Green, incorporating Meadow Green Lodge and Woodland Court are in North Kirklees and one, Sandy Mount is in South Kirklees. They comprise purpose built buildings containing between 41 and 53 one and two-bedroom flats, all of which are for rent. The Council is the owner and the landlord. JLW Excellent Homes for Life Ltd through their key sub-contractor Pinnacle are responsible for the repair and maintenance of the building and also manage the tenancies of the flats on behalf of the Council. Meadow Green Lodge, which is an annex of Meadow Green, has 10 flats (one and two beds) for people who are living with dementia. While it is self-contained there is an expectation that Tenants living In Meadow Green Lodge are integrated into Meadow Green and vice versa. The Lodge is the responsibility of the Meadow Green Scheme Management.
The Council expects that the Service Provider will work with the PFI Contractor, Catering Contractor and all other stakeholders to achieve the following overall aims of the Extra Care Schemes:
• To provide a safe, comfortable, welcoming and inclusive environment for Tenants, their families and friends and other visitors to the Scheme.
• To promote the maximum level of independence achievable by the individual.
• To have an enabling ethos providing 'just the right support at just the right time', either planned or unplanned and to avoid disabling Tenants and therefore increasing dependency on services.
• To support Tenants to maintain their tenancies and remain in their own home which is designed to be a 'home for life'.
• To support Tenants to regain and maintain their health and wellbeing and to reduce hospital admissions and facilitate speedy hospital discharge whenever possible.
• To give assurance that Tenants can quickly access additional care and support if and when needed due to emergency, illness, accident and so on.
• To support Tenants to be active, both physically and mentally by facilitating a range of Activities and encouraging participation.
• To signpost or link Tenants into appropriate services and community activities outside the Scheme.
In addition - The Extra Care Schemes also aim to be a community resource and some of the Communal Areas and Activities are open for hire or use by the public.

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.
