03-Dec-2009
Question 6:
For due diligence purposes, please give details of the present service provider's personnel, including number of staff, age, date of commencement of employment, number of years of continuous employment, salary and other benefits, notice periods and other relevant terms.
Response 6:
The current contract expires on the 31/12/2009. The service provision being tendered differs in scope, and the contract is considerably lower in value.
As noted in section 3.9 of the tender document, the question of whether TUPE is applicable or not is a legal matter, and applicants will have to consider and seek their own advice. For information only, we understand that a total of three full time members of staff are employed by the organisation.
All applicants should note all assumptions made in relation to costs of any staff transferring, so that S4C are clear about the basis of the bid. We retain the right to contact any applicant with questions that we may have associated with such information / notes.
