What is being bought

Trafford Council is looking for a service to help roll out 'Stopping the start: The Government's Plan to Create a Smokefree Generation' . In October 2023, it was announced by Government that additional grant funding would be awarded to support local authority lead stop smoking services. The defining features of the service are: • The ability to identify and engage people who smoke and are living within Trafford. • The ability to deliver smoking cessation interventions to the population with the overall aim of reducing smoking rates. Trafford Council have already commissioned targeted projects for: • Care Leavers • Criminal Justice/Probation Service Users • Substance misuse clients • Homeless community • Unpaid carers In our third round of applications, with this funding, we are hoping to target the following population groups: • Deprived communities (targeted geographies in Trafford) • Gypsy, Irish Traveller and Roma Communities • Employers with higher smoking rates i.e. route and manual workers • Wider groups. Any other group you can show has higher smoking (or other tobacco products) rates than the general population Trafford Council is looking to target as many of these groups as possible and will look to allocate funds in a way that allows the maximum number of groups to be targeted. Procurement is being undertaken under the Light Touch Regime. Please note this tender will be restricted to VCSE organisations. This includes non-profits, charities, social enterprises, community interest companies or other organisations that prioritise social impact over profit. VCSE status of organisations will be checked as part of the evaluation process. Providers are invited to go to www.The-Chest.org.uk register on The-Chest portal, locate reference DN796823 download the tender documents and submit their bids no later than 3rd December at 12 noon

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); 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 8528,6971 median · 23.4 average (15,986 of 28,697 with a bid count)1.8 average (17,305 of 28,697 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.

Indicative price outcome

£97,590 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £150,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
