What is being bought

Essex, Kent, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire Police Constabularies are seeking bids for the provision of an Employee Assistance Programme service to provide rapid access to Counselling, welfare assistance and support to Staff and their Families. Psychological absence is one of the Forces largest areas for absence, and therefore requires both a proactive and reactive approach to supporting staff and their families with mental health issues including stress and pressure, both at work and in their personal life whilst reducing short term and long-term absenteeism.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Guidance and counselling services (85312300); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8538,3731 median · 19.7 average (22,929 of 38,373 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,591 of 38,373 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
