The NTPF intends to operate this Framework across the Lots and certain minimum mandatory suitability requirements will be specified at the mini-competition stage and not the Framework invitation stage. Note: Healthcare Providers are requested to only submit a tender if they are confident that they have the requisite capacity, suitably qualified staff, experience and expertise within their organisation to deliver on the service as outlined in the tender documentation commencing as soon as practicable after award of contract. All submissions will be reviewed for compliance with the specifications as outlined in this document. Framework: This procurement is being conducted under the Open Procedure pursuant to the applicable public procurement regulations. Tenderers will be assessed against the Mandatory Framework Admission Requirements and Minimum Mandatory Suitability Requirements set out in the procurement documentation. All tenderers that meet these requirements and submit compliant tenders will be admitted to the framework agreement. Tenderers that do not meet the stated requirements or whose tenders are otherwise deemed non-compliant will not be admitted to the framework. There shall be no limit on the number of economic operators admitted to the Framework. Following establishment of the framework, as and when requirements for the Services arise, it is anticipated that the NTPF will award Call-Off Contracts by way of a Mini-Competition. Contract Duration: 24 Months with 2 x 12-month extension periods.
