Response 11 |
There are a number of routes by which Rotherham CCG can procure goods and services. These routes are determined by the Standing Financial Instructions, (SFI’s) for Rotherham CCG. These include direct purchases under a specific value, obtaining a number of quotes, purchasing from a ‘Framework’, undertaking a below threshold tender and a full OJEU, (Official Journal European Union), tender process. In the case of a full OJEU tender process, which would be used for goods or services where the anticipated spend is £164,176 or greater. Once the tender process has concluded and the outcome is clear who has been successful, then Rotherham CCG, would inform all the bidders who took part in the tender who it intends to award the contract to. Following the intention to award letter being sent out notifying the bidders which bidder the Rotherham CCG intends to award the contract to, there is a ten day ‘standstill’ period. During these ten days no contracts can be signed and if an unsuccessful bidder had reason to believe that there had been a breach of the procurement process then the unsuccessful bidder could challenge the decision made by Rotherham CCG. The unsuccessful bidder could challenge the decision made by Rotherham CCG by engaging with a Lawyer and submitting a claim form to Rotherham CCG within the ten day standstill period. It is also possible to complain about a procurement process via ‘Monitor’, (who are now a part of NHS Improvement). |
