Short description

We are looking for early help partners and providers within Kirklees to bid for the opportunity for additional funds which may be needed to embed Whole Family working into their service provision. By the end of the contract period, it will be expected that this way of working will be fully adopted by the service, and that this is the minimum expectation of all practitioners working and delivering early help to families. To ensure that this is embedded it will be an essential requirement of the contract to share person level data about families assessed, and those supported to achieve significant and sustainable outcomes, therefore information sharing agreements and sharing of data is key to demonstrating the success of the contract. We are looking for providers who can clearly demonstrate their impact upon the Kirklees Stronger Families Outcomes Plan (SFOP) referred to within the specification.

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.
