Description

The London Borough of Camden is seeking to procure a service for an 8 bed Residential Children's Home for Children Looked After aged between 12 and 17 years old.

The children and young people are 'Looked After' by the Council in line with the

requirements of the Children Act 1989 and the Children Act 2004. The service will also accommodate Asylum Separated Children who approach the local authority in line with our duties.
This tender falls under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. This allows the Council to design its own procedure provided that it:

• Compiles with the principles of equal treatment and transparency.

• Carries out the procedure in conformity with the information included, and

• Sets time limits that are reasonable and proportionate.

A one-stage process will be used where suppliers are required to submit responses to both Selection Criteria (assessing technical capacity and experience) and Award Criteria (assessing proposals for delivering the service).
