Public SectorProcurement Principles
• Transparency - contract procedures must be transparent and contract opportunities should generally be publicised
• Equal treatment and non-discrimination - potential suppliers must be treated equally
• Proportionality - procurement procedures and decisions must be proportionate
• Mutual recognition - giving equal validity to qualifications and standards from other Member States, where appropriate

Frameworks
• The Council makes use of Frameworks– Where it can legally access them, and– Use of the framework is good Value for Money
• Frameworks are set up by many Public Sector Organisations, for example:– Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO)– Crown Commercial Services (CCS)– Homes and Communities Agency (HCA)
![Page 15: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Council Frameworks• Used where more than one supplier is needed
or volumes cannot be predicted
• Entry to a framework is via competitive tender• Being on a framework isn’t a guarantee of work
• Contracts awarded through a mini competition call off process
• Might include option for call off by other public sector bodies
![Page 16: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Social Value Act• Applies to services contracts over the EU limit,
but could be applied to any contract, the Council considers:– how what is proposed to be procured might
improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of the District;
– how, in conducting the process of procurement, it might act with a view to securing that improvement.
– should it consult on these matters
![Page 17: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sub-contracting and Consortia
• What are they?
• What is the difference between them?
![Page 18: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sub-ContractingWhat is a sub -contract?This is a separate agreement made between two or more organisations to deliver part (or whole) of one agency’s contracted service
It lays out the basis on which the service is to be sub-contracted included payment & cost, risk sharing, disputes and relationship management
![Page 19: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ConsortiaWhat is a consortia or consortium? •A consortium of agencies is a ‘group of groups’ who come together under a ‘lead consortia entity’ to bid for a tender opportunity together
![Page 20: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TUPETransfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations
Two types of transfer protected under TUPE law:•Business transfers •Service provision changes
![Page 21: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
TUPE - Business transfers
• This is where a business or part of a business moves from one employer to another. This can include mergers where 2 companies close and combine to form a new one.
• The identity of the employer must change, to be protected under TUPE during a business transfer
![Page 22: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TUPE -Service provision changesThis is when:•a service provided in-house (e.g. cleaning, workplace catering) is awarded to a contractor•a contract ends and is given to a new contractor
•a contract ends and the work is transferred in-house
![Page 23: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
TUPE…..Think about Pensions
• TUPE is bound by case law and precedence• Council cannot decide if TUPE applies
• Pensions – for LA staff, for non LA staff • Organisations are urged to seek professional
advice in relation to TUPE & Pensions
![Page 24: Doing business with Bradford - tender ready training · 2016. 5. 17. · Frameworks • The Council makes use of Frameworks ... under TUPE during a business transfer. TUPE -Service](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053119/60a006ee8ef384664623568c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Public sector procurement may take a long time
• Some procurements have to follow EU rules, with prescribed time limits
• Some tenders generate a very high level of response
• Awarding large contracts may require a decision from the Council Executive
• We aim to give accurate timescales at the outset
