  46. Invitation to Tender 05

  47. Procurement Policy We believe that a sensible balance of commissioning and tendering will: • help to secure the provision we need • allow new entrants to the market where they add value and choice; • and, simultaneously, enable good providers to grow • The LSC introduced the e-tendering system in February 2007, because it is quicker, there is a robust audit trail, it is more environmentally friendly, and is more secure.

  48. Procurement Policy • As a public body, the LSC has to follow the public procurement rules and must ensure that the process is open, fair and transparent. • We will issue 3 year contracts (where appropriate) that will be extendable to 5 years subject to performance. Contracts can be varied up and down in value as a result of reconciliation and performance. • Contracts will have start date flexibility to allow provision to start when appropriate (i.e. do not all have to be 1st August).

  49. PQQ’s • PQQ’s closed on 3 March 2008 • PQQ Evaluation completed • Fair and equal consideration given to all tenders • Consistent process across all LSC regions • 1746 number of providers successful at this PQQ (4) • 998 had already qualified at PQQ in September 07
