Mini Competitions may take the form of : 1) An individual package of care for a single person or family groups or: 2) A group of packages based on common factors or other commonality this may include a similar level of needs, services, geographical locations, zones or routes or any other factor or factors. The council may also run mini competition's which give exclusivity rights to successful providers for existing or new packages of care, to operate pilot projects or services designed to support packages in any form. The tender will be let under "Light Touch" arrangements under the EU Procurement Directives and implemented in English Law in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015).
