Description

The Health Service Executive/TUSLA on behalf of CAWT (Co-operation & Working Together) seeks to appoint suitably qualified service providers to a Bespoke Panel Arrangement; to deliver a variety of trauma informed and trauma specific interventions for families who have children aged 0-3 years and/or 11-13 years; at risk of experiencing multiple adversities in their lives. The services are listed as Annex XIV services and only Articles 74 to 77 of Directive 2014/24/EC apply to the award of any contracts that arise from this process. As such, the HSE has flexibility in conducting the tender process, and a Bespoke Panel Arrangement is being adopted where service providers that meet minimum requirements and capped costs are successful in their application for appointment to the BPA. The Arrangement will allow new service providers to apply to join the BPA on a 3 monthly basis throughout its lifetime. Appointment to this Arrangement does not guarantee any level of business to any appointee.
