Description
Portsmouth City Council ('the Council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified suppliers to provide one-to-one tuition services in relation to Portsmouth's Virtual School and College.
The council is seeking to establish a multiple supplier framework agreement to allow for the continuous delivery of one-to-one tuition services for children and young people under the care of the Local Authority. This may include targeted and tailored one-to-one, paired, or small group support.
The framework will initially be operational for 4 years, though may extend beyond this for up to a further 4 years, in increments to be agreed, taking the total framework term to a maximum of 8 years. This is permissible under procurement regulations, as these services fall under the Light Touch Regime.
The council is seeking to admit a maximum of five suppliers onto the framework. However, we reserve the right to change the number of suppliers admitted should a lesser number of bids be received. Additionally, we reserve the right to admit further suppliers onto the framework should other bidders score within 2% of the 5th placed framework supplier.
The council also reserves the right to reopen the framework in order to admit further suppliers in the event of capacity issues or increases in demand(e.g. the number of service users requiring one to one tuition) or should awarded suppliers leave the framework or be removed from the framework for any reason. Should the framework be re-opened, then a new contract notice will be issued via 'Find a Tender' Service. Existing suppliers will not need to re-tender.
The council is targeting to have awarded the Framework Agreement by 31st July 2024 to allow for Framework Agreement commencement on 1st January 2025. The value of services to be awarded
via the Framework Agreement value is currently estimated to be £100,000 per annum, £800,000 over the maximum 8-year term. This is based on current contracted activity, so actual spend may fall below or above these estimated figures.
As the volume of service user need will vary and could increase over time, the estimated value of the framework may change to an upper limit of approximately £500,000 over the initial 4-year framework term that has been set, and therefore approximately £1,000,000 over the maximum term of 8 years.
Application is via completed tender submission by the deadline stated above and via the Council's e-sourcing system 'InTend', which will be used to administrate the procurement process.
The procurement process will be undertaken in line with the following programme:
- Issue FTS Contract Notice - 12th June 2024
- Issue Invitation to Tender (ITT) - 12th June 2024
- Tender Return Deadline - 10th July 2024 midday
