Additional information
YPO established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of Enforcement Agency Services (ref: 000587) under the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 on 1.4.2015.
Any potential Service Provider who is not already appointed onto the DPS has the opportunity to submit an indicative tender. All indicative tenders will be evaluated on the same Establishment Criteria as those service providers already appointed to the DPS.
To access the documentation, please go online to https://tendering.ypo.co.uk/procontract/ypo/supplier.nsf/frm_supplier_registration_wizard_introduction?openform and ‘Register as a Supplier’
1. Click on the appropriate tender under ‘Latest Opportunities’.
2. Click the ‘Register Interest’ button which is located under the ‘Main Contract Detail’.
3. Click on ‘ok’.
4. Return back to the home page and select the ‘My Opportunities’ link, located on the right hand side of your home page.
5. Select the link to the tender.
6. Select ‘view stage detail’ and download the documents.
Potential service providers have 15 days to submit an indicative tender, after which time YPO will evaluate the submissions against the specification and establishment criteria contained within the documents.
Service Providers will be notified if their submission has been accepted onto the DPS or rejected and will be provided with feedback relating to their submission. YPO's decision is final as to whether or not a potential provider is accepted onto the DPS.
If a Service Provider's submission is rejected for admittance onto the DPS the service provider can resubmit a new indicative tender at a later date, however they will be excluded from the call off relating to this Simplified OJEU Contact Notice.
Potential Service Providers must note that the model call off terms and conditions attached to the DPS contract may be changed in whole or in part by the customer. The customer may choose to use their own terms and conditions and will supply these when a call for further competition is made or elect to accept a Service Provider's terms and conditions.
There are no guarantees as to any minimum or maximum amount of services to be provided during the term of the DPS.
Further Competitions.
The Contracting Authority may choose to award the call for further competition to one or more Service Providers following evaluation.
Any Contracting Authority who enters into a call off contract under this DPS reserves the right to include ancillary services as part of their Invitation to Tender which fall outside of the above Regulations.
An invitation to tender for the Contracting Authority's specific requirements will be issued to service providers who have been appointed onto the DPS. Service providers will be given a minimum of 10 days to submit their bid as per the requirements of the invitation to tender.
All submissions received within the invitation to tender deadline will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria set in the invitation to tender documentation.
Once the evaluation is complete the preferred service provider(s) will be selected and all service providers will be notified of the award decision and provided with feedback relating to their submission. Customers will be advised to implement a voluntary standstill period of 10 days — please note however that this would be considered to be best practice but customers will not be bound to implement any standstill.
Please note that Services Providers must raise any questions via the Due North System in relation to the Invitation to Tender. Under no circumstances must they contact the Local Authorities direct.
