PART II – PRICE

1. Complete blocks 12, 17a, and 30a, b, and c of the SF 1449. In doing so, the offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the solicitation, with attachments. The solicitation constitutes the model contract.

2. Firm Fixed Priced Quotes: As prescribed by clause 52.216-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT, the resultant contract will be a Firm Fixed Priced Requirements contract. Accordingly, proposed pricing by offerors shall be firm-fixed, and not subject to revision and/or negotiation if selected for contract award. Additionally, multiple awards will not be considered, quotes shall include pricing for all items in the Price Schedule. Ensure that unit prices are no more than two (2) decimal places of a British Pound Sterling (£).

3. Proposed pricing must be submitted in British Pound Sterling (£), exclusive of VAT.

INFORMATIONAL PRICING NOTE:

TUPE - (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006

Definition. The United Kingdom’s Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) is the main piece of legislation governing the transfer of an undertaking, or part of one, to another. The regulations are designed to protect the rights of employees in a transfer situation.

During the solicitation phase and award of the resultant contract the Government does not have access to specific TUPE information nor becomes involved with related TUPE processes and associated liabilities (to include indemnification) that may transpire during pre-award or post-award phases between transferor and transferee.

While the Government fully understands the relevance of TUPE-information in proposing fixed prices, the responsibility to provide TUPE-information rests solely with the transferor; governed by Regulation 11 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employees) Regulations 2006 (TUPE). As the transferor need only provide TUPE information to the transferee prior to the transfer, the Government will only make available the listing of the current, incumbent contractor(s) with associated points of contact if requested. The Government is not responsible for determination of TUPE applicability; the responsibility lies solely with the transferor.

As this is a firm-fixed price requirements contract it is incumbent upon the offeror to calculate any anticipated TUPE pricing at time of quote submittal. TUPE costs cannot be submitted as a conditional quote, if submitted as such the offeror’s quote will be considered unacceptable and the offeror may be excluded from competition.
