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 contract it is incumbent upon the offeror to calculate any anticipated TUPE pricing at time of quotation submittal. TUPE costs cannot be submitted as a conditional quotation, if submitted as such the offeror’s quotation will be considered unacceptable and the offeror may be excluded from competition.
End of Addendum
52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)
1. Using FAR Part 13.5 Simplified Acquisition Procedures the Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the evaluation factors required under clause 52.212-1 of the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors and respective sub-factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
1. Technical Capability
0. Transition Plan
0. Quality Control Plan
c. Management Plan
1. Price
See below for the factors and sub-factors that shall be used to evaluate quotations.
B. As allowed by FAR Part 13.106-2 the Contracting Officer has determined that a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach is most advantageous to the government. Parts of FAR Part 13.106-2 (b) (3) and (4) will be utilized for the purpose of the Government’s evaluation of quotations and resultant award determination. Under the LPTA evaluation process, Technical Capability will be evaluated and rated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis (pass/fail), whereby unacceptability of any respective sub-factor will result in an unacceptable technical capability-rating.
C. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offeror's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
The Government intends to award a contract without discussions. The Government reserves the right to solicit additional information from one or all contractors regarding their proposal at any time during the evaluation if deemed in the best interest of the Government.
1. Technical Capability. The government will evaluate technical quotations and the below listed sub-factors on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. An unacceptable rating for any of the below sub-factors will result in an unacceptable rating for the Technical Capability primary factor. Accordingly, under the LPTA evaluation approach, offerors who receive an unacceptable rating for this factor may not be considered for award. Note that the government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. If the Government elects to award without discussions, an initial technical rating of unacceptable will render the entire quotations unacceptable. Technical Acceptability shall be evaluated against the following sub-factors where all sub-factors are considered equal:
a. Subfactor 1: Transition Plan Measure of Merit: This requirement is met when the offeror has thoroughly and successfully demonstrated the ability to meet all transition activities identified in 52.212-1 Addendum, Transition Plan paragraph 1., sub paragraphs a, through c.
b. Subfactor 2: Quality Control Plan Measure of Merit: This requirement is met when the offeror has thoroughly and successfully demonstrated the ability to meet all quality control activities identified in 52.212-1 Addendum, Quality Control Plan paragraph 2., sub paragraphs a and b. Additionally, evaluated is whether the offeror’s overall control of quality addresses and meets the specified performance thresholds for each requirement in the Services Summary.
c. Subfactor 3: Management Plan Measure of Merit: This requirement is met when the offeror has thoroughly and successfully demonstrated the ability to meet all management activities identified in 52.212-1 Addendum, Management Plan paragraph 3., paragraphs a, through c.
As a result of the government’s evaluation of the aforementioned technical sub-factors of Transition Plan, Quality Control Plan, and Management Plan and all associated elements accordingly, a determination of acceptable or unacceptable will be assigned for this factor of Technical Acceptability using the following ratings and descriptions:
Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings
| Rating |
| Description |
| Acceptable |
| Quotation clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. |
| Unacceptable |
| Quotation does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. |
2. Price Evaluation. The Government will evaluate prices submitted in the Pricing Spreadsheet. Failure to propose on all CLINs will render the quotation non-responsive. Comparisons of proposed pricing by offerors received in response to the solicitation will be evaluated at the CLIN level; the extended prices for each CLIN will then be added together, to create an aggregate total.
Offerors should propose the best available pricing to the Government for each CLIN in arriving at the most competitive price. Additionally, as this requirement is commercial, that will result in a “firm-fixed-price” contract, a comparison of offeror’s price will satisfy the requirement for price analysis, in establishing price fair and reasonableness IAW FAR Part 13.106-3. Evaluation will be conducted to determine if proposed prices are fair and reasonable IAW FAR 13.106-3.
AWARD DETERMINATION: As a result of the Government’s aforementioned evaluation, only those offerors whose quotations are determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. No trade-offs will be permitted between price, and the non-price factors of technical capability. Of those offerors found technically acceptable, an award determination will be made to the offeror with the lowest price that is determined to be fair and reasonable IAW 13.106-3.
