The Council is operating this procurement under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services, as set out in the Procurement Contract Regulations 2015, at Section 7 (Regulations 74 to 77) and Schedule 3.

Under the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 the contracting authority must consider:

Accordingly, the subject matter of the contract has been scoped to take into account the priorities of the contracting authority relating to economic, social and environmental well-being. These priorities are described in the Invitation To Tender and are reflected in environmental and social characteristics in the evaluation criteria for the award of the contract.
