The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 are likely to apply. The contract term is expected to be 5 years from 1 April 2021, with an option for extension by the Trust for up to a total of 7 years. The stated estimated value of the contract is based on: — estimated turnover for the first 48 months, and — forecasts made prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. It should not, therefore, be treated as reflective of the current circumstances and economic operators are expected to undertake their own due diligence with regard to value. The service is currently subsidised. The procurement is to be conducted using the restricted procedure and it is anticipated that 5 potential providers will be invited to submit tenders.
