In consideration of the impact the measures required by the Return to Work Safely Protocol (the ‘Protocol’) may have on works programmes, the OGP has today published a Note providing guidance for Contracting Authorities regarding both ongoing and future works and works-related services tenders. This Note provides guidance for three scenarios:
- Where the tender process was initiated before publication of the Protocol, the deadline for receipt of Tenders has passed, and the Contract has not yet been awarded.
- Where the tender process was initiated before publication of the Protocol and the deadline for receipt of Tenders has not yet passed.
- Where the tender process has not yet commenced.
The note is available to download here.
