1. Introduction and background
1.1 Contents of the ITT
This invitation to tender ( ITT ) comprises:

Tender completion requirements, evaluation model, specification and schedules.

Draft contract and schedules.

Technical and commercial questions.
1.2 Introduction to the Authority
Kingston upon Hull City Council (the Authority ) in partnership with NHS
England is conducting the procurement using the open procedure in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015
( SI 2015/102 ) (PCR 2015) for the purpose of procuring the services described in the Specification ( Services ).
Interested parties ( Tenderers ) have also been provided with a prequalification questionnaire ( PQQ ), which seeks responses in relation to their technical capacity or professional ability, and their economic and financial standing. The Authority in partnership with NHS England will evaluate the
PQQ responses and only those candidates that meet the required standards will have their responses to this ITT assessed.
This ITT contains further information about the procurement process, the
Services, and assessment questions for Tenderers to complete. Each
Tenderer's response ( Tender ) should be detailed enough to allow the
Authority and NHS England to make an informed selection of the most appropriate solution.
It should be carefully noted by Tenderers that you must return a fully completed PQQ and ITT.
The City of Hull sits in an area of 27.6 sq miles with a resident population of over 250,000. Hull is a city and unitary authority area, and is the largest centre of population in the county of the East Riding of Yorkshire. It stands on the
River Hull at its Junction with the Humber estuary, 25 miles (40km) inland from the North Sea.
The Authority delivers a wide and diverse range of services, with approximately 6,500 employees (excluding schools) working across the city to help improve people’s lives.

1.3 Scope of the Project


School Nursing

Oral Health Promotion and

Injury minimisation and prevention

5-19 Years Vaccination and Immunisation Services.
Further details of the current arrangements are included in Schedule 4.

Please note, additional information about our Social Value requirements are attached to the tender documentation (see Info. 6 Social Value); before completing the Social Value Delivery Plan, Tenderers should contact the following:

The Social Value Delivery Plan will be evaluated to ensure it is realistic and achievable. Each benchmark output and associated delivery method statement will be scored to determine a delivery confidence factor for each output, using the following evaluation scale;
Table 2 – Social Value Delivery – Confidence Scale
Score
1.00 No reservations on delivery of output (maximum score)
0.75 Very minor reservations on delivery of the output
0.50 Minor reservations on delivery of the output
0.25 Major reservations on delivery of the output
0.00
Information clearly shows the tenderer cannot satisfy the requirements of the output
Any tenderer whose output response equals or exceeds the benchmark from the table and provides a wholly satisfactory method statement, will be awarded a maximum score of 1 for that output, based on the following formula;
Output score = (Supplier’s response ÷ Benchmark) x confidence score
The sum of the output scores will be averaged and then multiplied by the weighting criteria as set out in the evaluation model (see 4.1 Award Criteria and Evaluation Criteria).
Pricing evaluation
The maximum available budget for this service is
£32,705,000. Any bid that exceeds the maximum annual budget will be deemed non-compliant and will therefore be excluded from the evaluation process.
Bid prices (Pricing Schedule 11) will be scored on a comparative basis with the lowest bid receiving 100% of the available marks (10% following weighting). All other bids will be compared against that lowest bid.
Cheapest price ÷ bidder’s price x percentage (%)
