Lot details

Lot 1

The ACS Bridging Service has been created to support Customers awaiting long-term care, whilst relieving pressures on the Acute Hospitals without impacting capacity of the Home First Service. Customers identified will be supported under the Bridging Service until such time that an appropriate long-term Provider comes forward to support the Customer. By implementing the ACS Bridging Service, pathway flow from the Acute Hospitals across Suffolk is eased and Home First capacity is not occupied by Customers who may have completed their period of Reablement and are now awaiting their most appropriate long-term care.Blocks of support will be purchased from the Service Provider (costings set out in Pricing Schedule) to support multiple Customers in targeted areas where long-term capacity within the Home Care Market is otherwise limited. Fundamental to the success of the Bridging Service, is that the Service Provider has the ability to deploy care staff into Suffolk, thus not impacting the local resource. Additional information: Value is maximum value expected across whole contract including extensionInitial contract period is 1/8/23 - 31/7/25 with the option to extend for a further 12 months

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 8538,3731 median · 19.7 average (22,930 of 38,373 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,592 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.

Indicative price outcome

£6,505,995 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £10,000,000.

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.

The Pilot solution allowed staff to be deployed into Suffolk, thus not creating further pressure on an already fragile local staffing resource.\nA six month contract to continue this service with the Pilot Provider is required to allow SCC sufficient time to undertake Market Engagement and run a procurement process for this service in the future.\nMarket Engagement is expected to commence during January 2023.\nThe value of the 6 month contract is up to £5,000,000 + VAT."
