Tender: Provision of Surety Bonds for Deputies and Guardians – Office of the Public Guardian (OPG)

About

The Office of the Public Guardian (the Authority) is seeking a sole supplier to provide, administer and manage end-to-end surety bonds for deputyship and guardianship appointments. These bonds are required in most cases by the Court of Protection as security to protect the financial interests of individuals who lack capacity or are missing; the security is typically provided by a surety bond guaranteed by an insurance company and must be compliant with statutory obligations. Tenders will be assessed to identify the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) using a Price Per Quality Point (PPQP) approach; technical responses (excluding the two social value questions) must meet a minimum quality threshold of 55% and any concessionaire scoring 0 on a technical question, or more than two scores of 1, will not be considered further. The Authority may amend the procurement approach or requirements and is not bound to enter into any contract as a result of this notice.
