reviewDetails:
The University of Essex will incorporate a minimum 10-day standstill period at the point information on the award of contract is communicated to tenderers. Bidders who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the Contracting Authority as soon as possible after the decision is made as to the reasons why the bidder was unsuccessful. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Procurement Regulations provide for the aggrieved parties who have been harmed or who are at risk of harm by the breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and
Northern Ireland). Any action must be generally brought within 3 months. If a declaration of
ineffectiveness is sought, any such action must be brought within 30 days where the Contracting Authority has communicated the award of the contract and a summary of reasons to tenderers, or otherwise within 6 months of the contract being entered into.
Where a contract has not been entered into, 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 the Contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the
Contracting Authority to pay a fine, and/or order that the duration of the contract the shortened. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.

The contracting authority will be using an eTendering system to conduct the procurement exercise. To access the procurement documentation suppliers must register their company details on the Sourcing Cloud system at: https://suppliers.multiquote.com
The tender is available from the opportunities menu on the login page of the site. The Contracting Authority shall not be under any obligation to accept the lowest tender or indeed any tender. The University of Essex expressly reserves the rights:
(a) to terminate the procurement process and not to award any contract as a result of the procurement process at any time;
(b) to make whatever changes it may see fit to the content and structure of the procurement as detailed within the tender documentation;
(c) to award a contract covering only part of it's requirements if explicitly detailed within the tender documentation;
(d) to disqualify any organisation from the process that canvasses any employee of the Contracting Authority during the procurement process or standstill period if applicable;
(e) seek clarifications to tender responses on the basis that any clarification sought will not confer any undue competitive advantage in the favour of any supplier from whom such clarifications are being sought;
(f) where the contracting authority can evidence that there is a conflict of interest, either personal or in consideration of any organisation bidding for the contract, the contracting authority shall have the explicit right to immediately exclude that person or organisation from the tender process entirely;
(g) where the contracting authority has engaged in any pre-market soft testing prior to the commencement of the procurement process, the contracting authority reserves the right to name any organisation that has been involved in these  discussions and release any and all specifications/ discussion documents to the market where appropriate to the subject matter of this procurement;
(h) the contracting authority will not be liable for any costs incurred by tenderers;
(i) the value of the framework provided in section II.1.5 is only an estimate and the contracting authority will not guarantee any business through this framework agreement;
and
(j) the contracting authority wishes to establish a framework agreement open for use by all Public Sector Bodies as stated in II.1.4. Tenderers should note, in reference to section IV.1.3, envisaged maximum number of participants to the framework:
Where, following the evaluation of bids, more than one tenderer is tied with the same final evaluation score and are ranked in the last supplier award position, each of these tenderers shall be deemed to occupy the last framework agreement contract award position for the purpose of calculating the maximum number of suppliers under the framework. The
contracting authority will award a framework agreement to additional tenderers on the framework beyond the stated maximum number, where their final evaluation score(s) is within 0.5% of the last placed position on the framework. For the avoidance of doubt, the 15th placed position in respect of this framework. Therefore, tenderers within 0.5%, along with the tenderer in last placed position, shall be deemed to occupy the last framework agreement contract award position for the framework.

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION
Southampton City Council is in the process of reviewing its current model of residential respite provision for adults with Learning Disabilities living in Southampton and would like to engage in preliminary market consultation, to inform future commissioning.
Please note these proposals only relate to overnight residential respite for adults aged 18 years plus.
Currently the Council runs a 4 bed respite unit (plus one emergency bed) in its own property, Provision A on the West of the City; and commissions an external provider to run a 3-bed respite service from another property, which the Council also owns, Provision B on the East of the City.  The Council also commissions additional nights from other external provider/s.
One proposal is to consolidate the majority of our residential respite provision into Provision A and Provision B and to only use other respite services for those clients with more complex health/clinical needs.  To do this, one of our proposals is to expand our Provision A service from 4 beds to 6 beds (plus one emergency bed) and align service delivery across  Provision A and Provision B respite sites, to deliver a single service across the two sites to achieve economies of scale.
We are currently consulting on our proposals and exploring whether this 2-site provision (Provision A and Provision B) should be delivered by the Council or by external provider/s.  We are therefore only seeking information at this stage.
This request for information is to seek further views to inform the council's decision making and is not a call for a competitive procurement, any response provided by the market will remain confidential. Participation or non-participation in this market exercise is voluntary and non-binding and shall not prevent any organisation's ability to participate in any potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any organisation at an advantage in any procurement process. Confidentiality is subject to the Council's statutory obligations such as under the Freedom of Act 2000 or other applicable legislation.
Proposed Model - Assumptions
Delivery of a residential respite service from two sites, both owned by the Council.
Proposed sites
•	Provision B which is a 3 bedded provision
•	Provision A which would become a 6 bedded provision plus 1 emergency bed
The Council will retain ownership of both sites and continue to bear the costs that are directly associated with the properties, for e.g. utilities, rates and building maintenance so these should not be included in your indicative costs.
Proposed availability
•	Both provisions should be available 360 days a year.
•	Emergency capacity should be available throughout the year based at the Provision A site.
Proposed Occupancy
•	Target occupancy for the core respite beds is proposed at 90%
•	Emergency bed occupancy is estimated at 70%
Proposed Staffing
•	Both sites should be staffed 24/7
•	Both sites should operate a 1:3 core staffing model (any additional 1:1 or 2:1 staffing costs will be charged separately)
•	It should be assumed that staffing for the emergency bed is supplemented by the core and where additional 1:1 staffing is needed, this would be chargeable separately.
•	The Council has the following existing staffing resource, it is likely that TUPE will apply:
Provision A *correct as of 17/02/25 has a total staffing resource spend of £373,788 per annum comprising the following staff:
Role--------------------------------FTE**------Employers Pension Contribution
Registered Manager-----1.0--------------16.8%***
Team leaders-----------------3.61------------16.8%
Support Workers----------4.05-----------16.8%
Housekeeper----------------0.81------------16.8%
Information relating to the councils pay scales can be accessed here Pay scales
** FTE is based on 37 hours
*** Information relating to the councils pensions can be accessed here Pensions
Provision B *correct as of 17/02/25 has a total staffing resource spend of £130,955 per annum, comprising the following staff:
Role-------------------------------FTE**----Employers Pension Contribution
Registered Manager----1.08---------3%
Support Workers---------5.19----------3%
•	An incoming potential provider(s) will be responsible for any resulting  redundancy or other TUPE related costs (redundancy/ T&C's/entitlements) these should be considered within your assumptions.
Questions to respond to are:
1.	How attractive, economically and operationally, do you think the council's proposal would be for the market and why?
2(a).   What would you consider to be a best value indicative cost for delivering this 2-site provision?
Please provide a range value cost to deliver this provision between £ xxxx and £xxxx per annum based on the assumptions detailed throughout this document.
The indicative range value cost should include:
•	all staffing costs, including training and annual/sick leave allowance.
•	all non-staff costs directly associated with running the service i.e. IT, telephones, clinical and domestic waste, travel, CQC registration, cleaning materials, equipment, maintenance of equipment ,consumables,  stationery, food, laundry, surplus
•	and all overheads/corporate management costs, that your organisation would charge.
•	PLEASE EXCLUDE BUILDING COSTS E.G UTILITIES, BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND RATES.
2b). Please detail your additional assumptions that support these indicative costs
An example is given below:
Relates to:	Staffing
Assumptions:
Grade
Employer pension contributions @ x%
Annual leave assumed at x days per year
Sick leave provision @ x% of  FTE posts
TUPE contingency pot @ £xxk for x post at risk of deletion
Please send in responses to procurementhealthandcareteam@southampton.gov.uk

Please find below responses to recently submitted clarification questions:
1.	Could you clarify the actual FTE strength vs Establishment currently at Kentish Road - and include the actual bands/payscales for each level.  The link in the document doesn't work
We are unable to provide more detailed  information re the current establishment for either site having  sought advice from Procurement throughout this process.  This was on the basis that the postholders are potentially identifiable and sharing individual salary information at this stage risks a potential breach of confidentiality. More detailed information will be available if this proceeds to a formal procurement exercise.
Payscales as they appear on SCC website can be found here:https://www.southampton.gov.uk/council-democracy/council-data/pay-scales/
2.	The Request for Information asks for costs for 24/7 care but the original papers suggested Mon-Friday would not include between the hours of 10:00 and 16:00.  Can you confirm that all costs will be 24/7 360 days?
Awaiting clarification from requester as to what original papers they are referencing.
3.	The Request for Information states that the staffing for the Emergency Bed should come from core staffing.  How can this be achieved 70% of the time with a 1:3 ratio.  The numbers simply don't add up.  Would it not make more sense to operate 5 beds plus 1?
The RFI states that it should be assumed that staffing for the emergency bed is supplemented by the core and where additional 1:1 staffing is needed, this would be chargeable separately.  Initially capacity will come from the core and then be topped up by additional 1:1 staffing, which will be dependent on the level of need the service is required to meet.  The provider would be expected to flex provision to ensure the best use of hours across any occupancy and need combination. A further examination of the emergency usage numbers suggests that 50% rather than 70% usage would be a more realistic estimate of current levels of emergency bed demand.   This % change is an amendment to the original RFI.

We have reviewed the cabinet paper and there is no reference regarding inclusion or exclusion of hours of Monday -Friday (10:00 and 16:00).
The RFI remains as is, under paragraph 11.2.4 that both sites should be staffed 24/7.

Additional information: The council is ideally seeking to deliver a saving through this procurement process and avoid any cost increases. Therefore, Council reserves the right to set aside any tender that exceeds £80,000 per annum for the first year of the contract.  The budget cap of £80,000 per annum is based upon delivery of the current core requirements and already includes for an uplift of the value for 2024/2025 to accommodate the increases to national minimum wage and impact of national insurance contribution changes which will take effect from April 2025.
The estimated annual value of the contract is £80,000 based upon current core requirements.  The value of the contract for delivery of core requirements may increase or decrease in the event of changes to specification, changes to frequencies, and removal or addition of requirements from the contract.
In addition to the £80,000 the council may also at its option let additional project works through the contract. No guarantee of additional works can be made and the council may commission other contractors to undertake these works. Based upon the current development position for the site the value of these additional project works could equate to approx. £20,000 per year. This could make the overall value of the contract approx. £100,000 per annum.
The site is still under development and as additional units are built and let this will impact upon the scope and value of the landscaping core requirements and additional project works.
The council cannot guarantee or provide any specific forecast on the build out programme, however it is estimated that the impact of full build out on core requirements could increase the contract value by an additional approx. £20,000 - £30,000 per annum and for additional projects this could increase by £10,000 - £15,000 per annum.
The full build out of the site could therefore increase the overall per annum value of the contract from £80,000 to £110,000 for core requirements, £20,000 to £35,000 for additional optional project works and therefore from £100,000 to £145,000 overall.
Build out of the site will be undertaken incrementally and it is unlikely that the this would have been achieved until at least year 4 of this contract at which the point the value could have risen incrementally from £100,000 in year 1 to £145,000 in year 4.
Based upon take up of extension options this would equate to a maximum overall cost for 7 year duration of £925,00 based upon incremental build out. Applying year on year upper end inflationary increase of 3% increases the value to approx. £950,000.

description:
The procurement for the Oliver McGowan Training (OMT) delivery hubs will primarily provide access to tier 1 and tier 2 training and lead trainer services for health care partners in the NE London care system.
NHS England has allocated funding to Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to ensure the delivery of OMT, targeting all relevant healthcare staff across CQC-registered providers.  The programme emphasizes standardized training delivery using the nationally developed OMT package and the development of a sustainable, scalable model for long-term compliance.
To meet these requirements, a two-hub OMT delivery model has been developed for North East London, with a total cost of £1,069,696 over 18 months (£534,848 per hub).
It is the intention of the contracting Authority to award one contract to be hosted by NELFT (North East London NHS Foundation Trust), and the other by Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.  While each hub primarily serve a designated area, a reciprocal arrangement allows staff to attend training at either location, maximizing accessibility.  The hubs will collaborate to ensure consistent training delivery and resource sharing.  Together, they aim to train approximately 5200 tier 1 and 8200 tier 2 staff.  Critically, the hubs will create 120-140 paid experts with lived experience trainer roles for individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism, promoting inclusivity and aligning with the ICS's employment priorities.
The expected impact of OMT includes improved clinical outcomes, such as reduced health disparities, fewer misdiagnoses, and a more person-centred approach to care.  Social benefits include increased community inclusion, reduced stigma, and an enhanced quality of life for individuals with learning disabilities and autism.  Furthermore, the programme aims to provide income streams for the VCSE sector. Additional information: The rationale for a direct award of contracts to NELFT (North East London NHS Foundation Trust) and Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for the delivery of the Oliver McGowan Training (OMT) programme in North East London.  Given the tight timelines, with the Procurement Act 2024 taking effect on 24/02, the decision to make a direct award is driven by the urgent need to implement the OMT programme effectively and efficiently, to commit funding against contracts, the scale and specialized nature of the training required, the high level of growth of pool of experts with lived experience that is needed, and the imperative to establish a sustainable training infrastructure and build market providers.
The ICB requires training at scale for the entire healthcare system, encompassing a large number of staff across diverse settings, delivering at or near sites of employment within the NE London geography.
A direct award to NELFT and Homerton is recommended under Public Contracts Regulation 32 -  Use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication due to their unique capabilities and expertise in LD&A education and learning, established relationships within the North East London LD&A communities, and proven ability to meet these demanding requirements to provide Mandatory and Statutory Training at this scale. Setting up a sustainable not for profit training service aligns with NHS England's funding directives, facilitates the development of sustainable local infrastructure, supports community development, and delivers a lasting legacy of equity and empowerment to improve the health inequalities for our Learning Disability and Autism LD&A communities.
The following key points detail the rationale for this direct award:
1.	Alignment with NHSE Funding Requirements: The proposed model directly supports NHS England's requirements for the OMT programme, focusing on a sustainable, not-for-profit training service delivering impactful outcomes.
2.	Capacity to Scale and Deliver: The training pool will be scaled to a capacity to provide training for 20,000 staff annually by Oct 2026, requiring significant investment in recruitment infrastructure, and pastoral support. The Trusts possess existing resources and a proven track record in delivering large-scale statutory training, making them uniquely positioned to meet these demands.
3.	Specialised Nature of the Training: OMT is tailored to the specific needs of individuals with LD&A in clinical and non-clinical settings. The Trusts' extensive experience in LD&A training and support makes them the most qualified providers for this specialized service.
4.	Expertise as CQC-Regulated Providers: As CQC-regulated organisations, the Trusts ensure compliance with the draft Code of Practice and are well-equipped to navigate future regulatory requirements, providing stability within the sector.
5.	Development of Local Training Infrastructure: Collaboration with local voluntary and social enterprises will establish a sustainable OMT infrastructure, diversify the market, and broaden access to high-quality training, fostering not-for-profit micro-training providers.
6.	Employment of Local Experts: Employing LD&A experts with lived experience from local communities ensures high-quality training delivery and reduces travel burdens, promoting trainer wellbeing and aligning with NHS equity commitments. This is crucial given the limited pool of individuals with this lived experience and the demands on this group.
7.	Strong Local Connections for Recruitment: The Trusts' established networks through the Integrated Care Partnership, patient groups, and internship programmes enable rapid and efficient recruitment of trainers, ensuring training targets are met.
8.	Legacy and Community Impact: The programme aims to reduce health inequalities by linking training outcomes with paid employment opportunities, supporting employability initiatives across North East London and amplifying local benefits in line with the system's LD&A strategy.
9.	Pilot Model for Sustainability: An 18-month, two-hub pilot (inner and outer NE London) will allow for testing and refinement while maintaining quality and expanding trainer capacity, addressing core NHSE funding uncertainties and that a sustainable model is created without the employment risks of redundancy and redeployment.
10.	Tight Timescales for Implementation: The OMT programme must be implemented rapidly to meet urgent needs and comply with evolving legislative requirements, necessitating a streamlined procurement process. The direct award approach is the most efficient way to achieve timely implementation within the available timeframe.
