T830 Make Happen Quasi-Dynamic Purchasing System
Reference Number : DN62
An EU light touch procurement exercise which is compliant with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 will be undertaken to select suppliers for a quasi-dynamic purchasing system (DPS) which will offer access to pre-approved suppliers who can be appointed using a streamlined procurement process, ensuring the university obtains value for money whilst enabling the office for students` objectives to be achieved efficiently.
Make Happen is a collaborative project which is funded and monitored by Office for Students (OfS), with the funding held at the University of Essex, as the lead institution. Make Happen is the working name of the current National Collaborative Outreach Programme partnership for Essex, although it is also known as the Essex Collaborative Outreach Network (ECON).
As it stands, the National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP) brings together 29 partnerships of universities, colleges and other local partners to deliver outreach programmes to young people in years 9 to 13. Their work is focused on local areas where higher education participation is lower than might be expected given the GCSE results of the young people who live there. However, the Office for Students may decide to expand the targeted age groups, within all the sub categories, during the life of the Quasi-DPS.
Make Happen is looking for educational providers/suppliers who can support us with meeting the government`s aims.
The programme started in January 2017 and aims to support the government`s goals to:
• reduce the gap in higher education participation between the most and least represented groups
• support young people to make well-informed decisions about their future education
• support effective and impactful local collaboration by higher education providers working together with schools, colleges, employers and other partners
• contribute to a stronger evidence base around `what works` in higher education outreach and strengthen evaluation practice in the sector.
All activity needs to work towards these aims whilst at the same time falling in to the Office for Students sub-categories.
The definition of this lot is: One to one, small group or online support from a trained mentor.
Potential bidders can request to participate by completing a qualification questionnaire to demonstrate how they meet the stated minimum selection criteria and their ability to fulfil the objectives of the relevant OfS sub-categories. The University will use this information to inform a filtering process during any call-off procedure.
If a bidder scores a FAIL mark on any of the PASS/FAIL questions the bid may be rejected.
Providing that a potential bidder on the approved provider list has been identified as eligible for a particular call-off contract via the Quasi-DPS filtering process, and they continue to meet the minimum selection criteria, they will be able to have the opportunity to be awarded call-off contracts with specific schools/FEIs.
Each individual call-off contract will include the detailed service specification and any required service elements relating to such call-off contract. The procurement documentation includes the relevant terms and conditions that will be utilised by the parties for subsequent call-offs under the Quasi-DPS.
The University of Essex reserves the right to cancel the procurement at any stage of the process and not to proceed with the award of any contract. The University of Essex shall not be liable for interested parties` or tenderers` costs in relation to this procurement in any circumstances.
The University of Essex is conducting this procurement on behalf of itself and any members of its group from time to time.
The University of Essex does not guarantee any spend through this quasi-DPS.
