Ministry of Justice Commercial and Contract Management Directorate NOMS Co-financing Organisation Round 3 Launch Events: June 2014 – Birmingham, London, Manchester
1. Introduction + Contact Details etc • Simon Ambrose • Michael Adu – 0300 047 5123 • Tony Oloya – 0300 047 5960 • Esf.MoJProcurement@noms.gsi.gov.uk • Richard Hoy – Contract Manager • Geraldine Green – Contract Manager
2. Overview • To date: • Prior Information Notice published – Contracts Finder • Online Consultation undertaken • 3 x Launch + Provider Engagement events hosted • Next steps: • Consider feedback received (Consultation + Launch events) • Finalise Initial Specification • Publish Contract Notice and First Invitation to Tender (ITT)
3. Process • Competitive procurement process under Part B of the Public Procurement Regs • To be run in line with the Lean Procurement agenda • Likely to be a two-stage tender process with an opportunity for an (open) dialogue session between the Authority and bidders • To be run via the Ministry of Justice eSourcing portal • Documentation, wherever possible, to be published on the NOMS CFO website (www.co-financing.org)
4. Indicative Timescales • Prior Information Notice – March 2014 • Consultation + Market Engagement – April to June 2014 • Publish First ITT – August 2014 • First ITT evaluation – Sept/Oct 2014 • Dialogues – Oct/Nov 2014 • Final ITT – November 2014 • Final ITT evaluation – Jan/Feb 2015 • Contract Award – March 2015 • Start of Delivery – 1st July 2015
5. Key points to note • In no particular order: • Be aware that ESF regulations mean you can only have a single tier of sub-contracting • The Round 2 contracts are delivered via several models – managing agent, prime provider-led, consortium etc – we would be happy to see these continue • ESF monies cannot be used to fund redundancy payments • ESF Contract Areas (ECAs) do not necessarily align with other delivery you may be involved in, so please check the regional specifications carefully • We are keen to well developed supply chains that address the ESF priorities outlined in our specification
5. Key points to note • As previously mentioned, this will be competed in line with the Lean Procurement agenda • This means that it is less likely that we will run a separate Pre-Qualification process (PQQ) but instead include only the necessary elements within the First ITT • This approach reduces the number of stages/submissions that you will be required to provide, but it will make the first one that you submit your initial solution • Therefore it is important that you consider the scale of your bidding entity vs. the size of this opportunity – please ensure you adopt a pragmatic approach to bidding • Lean Procurement relies on the principle of self selection…
6. Provider engagement (Speed dating…) • This is your chance to form positive relationships with partners that may enhance any future delivery offer • The key is to ensure these reflect the particular requirements of the NOMS CFO Round 3 contracts – regions, priority groups etc • We will support this process by sharing the details of other organisations that have similarly expressed interest
7. Drop-in Surgeries • Members of staff will be available later on this afternoon in both “Policy” and “Procurement” drop-in surgeries • We will be able to talk through anything covered today or that was outlined in the PIN, Specification, Consultation etc • We will make a note of any common questions so that we may circulate an FAQ after the final event. Anything that we are unable to answer will also be picked up in the same way • Please note – as you may expect there may be some questions that we are unable to respond to; if this is the case we will explain why • And finally – we are not be able to provide insights into the TR Programme or respond to questions that are broader than the scope of NOMS CFO
If there are any particularly burning questions relating to NOMS CFO or to Round 3 procurement activity then we have a few minutes to pick up a couple of them now… • The slides from today will be circulated/made available via the CFO website
