What is being bought

This is a follow up to a previous Request for Information (RFI) that took place earlier this year. This RFI seeks feedback from both services and providers of Specialist Adult and Older People (AOP) mental health and Psychological Therapies for Severe Mental Health Problems (PTSMHP) education programmes. Responses will inform the development of detailed procurement specifications and help shape the future delivery model of these programmes. Prospective bidders will not be disadvantaged by choosing not to respond to this RFI but it will be helpful to understand views at this early stage, so we encourage providers to respond as fully as possible. To express interest and respond to the request for information, please register and apply via Atamis e-sourcing portal https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); 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 802,5693 median · 39.3 average (836 of 2,569 with a bid count)3.7 average (926 of 2,569 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer83Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)7329 median · 29 average (1 of 73 with a bid count)10 average (1 of 73 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.
