Some of the more specialist areas we would like expertise and experience delivering on this contract are sexualised behaviour, eating disorders, self harm and exploitation.

Suppliers are advised to clarify any points of doubt or difficulty relating to the documentation before submitting their response. Any queries should be submitted through the question and answer function via The Chest (Pro-Contract) e-tendering system. Please refer to previously asked questions before asking a question as duplicate questions will not be answered.

Both questions and answers will either be made public on The Chest or responded to directly to the originator depending on the content.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the completed submission is uploaded successfully on The Chest by the deadline specified below:

Deadline for Submission of this RFQ: 15 January 2016 at 9:30am

Please also note that TUPE applies to this contract. TUPE information is available on request, using the Chest, question & answer function.

Bidders are advised that the deadline set out above is absolute. You are advised to upload your submission well in advance of the deadline to avoid any technical issues that might arise causing you to fail to meet the deadline which would lead to the rejection of your submission. The Council is conscious that Bidders spend a huge amount of time, effort and expense in putting together a submission and is keen to ensure that no bid is rejected for this reason. The Council positively welcomes your submission and would rather evaluate it than reject it for being late or incomplete and therefore non-compliant.

In submitting your quotation you agree to contract on the Council?s own terms and conditions. Due to the Council?s obligations of fairness and equal treatment to all bidders it cannot accept amendments to its terms and conditions or alternative terms and conditions. If you seek to amend the Council?s terms and conditions or submit alternative terms and conditions the Council may reject your quotation.
