Evaluation Weighting Technical competence 60% Cultural fit 20% Price 20% Questions from Suppliers 1. Can the authority please confirm the IR35 status of this requirement. The intermediaries legislation does not apply to this engagement. 2. Is there a current incumbent? There is no current incumbent. 3. Will you support the SC for the right candidate? We are willing to act as a sponsor but we cannot pay for and action the application for SC, both of which would be the responsibility of the supplier. 4. Please can you advise whether this Specialist role is in addition or in replacement to the Outcomes based role you had listed last week Friday? This Specialist advert role replaces the outcome advert that was cancelled on 13/8/2019. Due to a technical glitch, this role was originally advertised as an outcome rather than a specialist. 5. Please can you confirm whether a supplier can apply for this if it is bidding for the 3D delivery Partner or is it your intention to have a separate supplier undertake this role? Our only stipulation in respect of other CORTISONE procurement's was that suppliers must not have any current direct or indirect connection with any Industry contractors involved in the CORTISONE Sustain & Transition to Open negotiations or evaluation. This includes both the client side and supplier side contractors. 6. You have categorised this as a Delivery Manager but there is a Programme Manager category. Would you consider recategorising this as a Programme manager to fit the seniority with our pricing structure? Sorry, we cannot change the categorisation of this role as the Delivery Manager categorisation is the closest fit in respect of the role we are advertising. 7. How many applications can we submit? There is no limit on the amount of applications submitted for this advertised role. We will shortlist down to 3, regardless of how many applicants respond to the advert.
