A&E In Reach
Buyer: CHESHIRE AND WIRRAL PARTNERSHIP NHS FOUNDATION TRUST →
What is being bought
Due to the lack of existing workforce, it is proposed that support is secured from ISL, (Independence Support Ltd), who currently work within the Service to support both Conveyance of patients awaiting admission, and work within the community or residential placements. Delivering several aspects of a service gives the provider and the service flexibility. This is an extension of a service currently provided and gives a continuity of care for patients moving within the service. The Service is assured of standards and compliance by submission of reports and learning from any incidents. The service has been provided by ISL since February 2023, and there has been no substantial change to the nature or cost of the service delivered. The existing provider is satisfying the original contract and will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard" with the weighting 100. Due Diligence has been carried out on the provider and provides financial capacity to perform the contract. The provider is regulated by CQC and completes electronic monitoring software to manage and track monthly, quarterly and 6 monthly audits. They are DSP accredited and hold a Cyber Essentials Certification.

Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Hospital support services (85112000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 85 | 20,518 | 1 median · 29.4 average (10,088 of 20,518 with a bid count) | 2 average (11,113 of 20,518 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 17 | 1 median · 1 average (4 of 17 with a bid count) | 1 average (4 of 17 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“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.
