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 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 proposal submittal. TUPE costs cannot be submitted as a conditional proposal, if submitted as such the offeror's proposal will be considered unacceptable and the Offeror may be excluded from competition.
