This means children and young who may need support with difficulties such as: • Nervousness or anxiety • Difficulty concentrating • Difficultly sleeping • Avoiding school or activities • Feeling low and not good about themselves • Not wanting to be with friends or family. To complement our recent Public Consultation, we would like to meet with providers to discuss an overview of our proposed service model . We are proposing that this service will be closely aligned with the proposed Therapeutic Alliance, being commissioned by NHS Kent and Medway (Kent Children & Young People’s Therapeutic Alliance Market Engagement - Find a Tender), to support children and young people with predominantly moderate emotional wellbeing and mental health needs. We would like to invite providers to an initial online market engagement event, to be held on Wednesday12th February, 15.00 – 16.00. This will be an opportunity to learn more about the proposed model and procurement timelines and to share initial questions and feedback, prior to the full Specification being published.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Counselling services (85312320); 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 8526,5101 median · 24.8 average (14,395 of 26,510 with a bid count)1.9 average (15,641 of 26,510 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs
Same buyer313 median · 12.2 average (6 of 31 with a bid count)3.8 average (9 of 31 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.
