Description
Burges Salmon wishes to appoint up to two key sub-contractors (subject to CCS approval) to provide non-legal technical and advisory support for the delivery of bus franchise assessment support under Burges Salmon's appointment to Lot 1 of the Crown Commercial Service Public Sector Legal Services Panel.
Burges Salmon will work collaboratively with the successful bidder/s, who will provide non-legal technical and advisory services, in the preparation of certain tenders and opportunities under the Public Sector Legal Services Panel and deliver resultant appointments on such basis as may be determined on project by project basis. Our aim is to establish a fair and open competitive process for bidders in order to identify the solution that most closely meets our requirements. Shortlisted suppliers may be invited to present their proposal face to face or virtually.
Burges Salmon requires the bidder to demonstrate on no more than 2 sides of A4:
• extensive experience of Bus Franchising Assessments;
• extensive experience of preparing a Five Case Business Model in accordance with the Bus Services Act 2017, HM Treasury and Department for Transport guidelines for each stage of the process;
• delivery of Bus Franchising Assessments pursuant to the objectives and requirements of the Bus Services Act 2017 and associated guidance and processes for the development of Business Cases to central government standards;
• advising on the implementation of decisions made further to Bus Franchising Assessments; and
• extensive experience of working collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary team in respect of the above.
The appointed bidder is expected to hold ISO 9001 (QMS), ISO 22301:2019 (Business Continuity), ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management Systems), ISO/IEC 27002:2013 (IT), ISO/IEC 27031:2011 (IT) and ISO 22313:2020 (Security) certification or equivalents, and Cyber Essentials Plus.
The appointed bidder will be required to contract with Burges Salmon on a full flow-down of the terms of Burges Salmon's CCS Framework Contract including specific terms applicable to each Call-Off Contract for which the bidder supports Burges Salmon.
This may include delivering services on such rates and discounts as Burges Salmon may agree from time to time with CCS, supporting its social value commitments to CCS and promptly providing all relevant management information.
Any appointment by Burges Salmon is subject to final approval by CCS.
