See also II.1.4) Short description The tender will be managed on a group basis; however, each school will be required to have their individual operational budget and contract and may wish to appoint the supplier they would like for their particular school. As the contract will not therefore necessarily be awarded on a group basis, suppliers will have the option to show additional financial benefits on a separate upload if one or more schools were to be awarded to one supplier. Regarding the labour establishments across the cluster, there are a number of staff that are currently in the local government pension scheme, and staff that can join if they so wish. One type of contract is included within the ITT where all staff will transfer to the successful supplier/s; therefore, the successful supplier/s will have to apply for admitted body status and pay all setup associated costs. An actuary report will be provided as part of the TUPE information, but it is not guaranteed that the successful supplier/s will not need to obtain another actuary report as part of the ABS process — the cost of any additional actuary report/s will need to be covered by the successful supplier/s, as stated above. After the 10-day standstill period, suppliers must contact Calvin Matthews via email (cmatthews@cornwall.gov.uk) so that the ABS agreement can proceed. Please ensure that the pension contribution rates and information from the actuary reports are used when in the submission of labour costs. Please note, the successful supplier/s will pay a proportion of the consultancy fee on award of each of this contract, which will be to the value of 750,00 GBP plus VAT per primary school and 1 500,00 GBP plus VAT per secondary school. The contract/s will be awarded for 3 years with a possible extension of 2 years by mutual consent and on the same terms and conditions as the original contract/s.
