What is being bought

The aim of the Service / Contract is to deliver appropriate support to adults residing in West Lothian that have moderate mental health problems. Individuals will be supported to identify personal outcomes and priorities and will be provided with specialist advice on a range of issues; this may involve signposting to other social or clinical services. By providing such a service in West Lothian, it is anticipated that there will be a reduction in the number of contacts that an individual has with their GP, or that the service will act as an alternative to the individual seeking support from their GP. The Service will be delivered from the Community Wellbeing Hubs (located in Bathgate and Livingston), and in West Lothian GP Practices if appropriate. The Community Link Worker and Wellbeing Practitioner Service will operate on a Monday to Friday schedule between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Some flexibility on the Provider’s part is expected given the nature of the service.

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.

“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.

Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts.\nIn the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested.  The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period.\nIt is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender.  If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency.  The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer’s financial status.\nIn the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee.\nShould after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected.\nWith reference to ESPD Q4B.5.1a&b; It is a requirement of this contract that bidders hold, or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below:"
