What is being bought

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) is planning to transform the way we commission Community Voluntary Sector (Third Sector Services) for Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, Dementia and Neurodivergence services in Gwent. We currently commission services, based on a traditional competitive tendering process, usually contracting with one service provider for one service area. We usually draw up the specification, based on a population needs assessment, and enter into a formal procurement tendering process, which sets individual voluntary sector organisations against each other in competition. We need to move away from this model to a more collaborative, alliance based contracting model or approach. The Alliance model enables us to become equal partners as part of a specific partnership, focusing on citizen outcomes within a seamless system of care and support for our citizens.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); 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 8522,8451 median · 27.7 average (11,793 of 22,845 with a bid count)1.9 average (12,897 of 22,845 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)8544 median · 9.2 average (29 of 854 with a bid count)1.5 average (30 of 854 with named award suppliers)3 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

£1,203,609 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £1,850,000.

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.
