Crisis and Resilience Fund Advice Services
Authority: NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Authority is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to inform the market and the development of an accredited Crisis Resilience Fund advice service for residents of North East Lincolnshire. The purpose of this engagement is to:
- Inform the market of the upcoming procurement
- Inform the market of engagement undertaken to date
- Understand current market strengths, gaps, challenges and barriers to delivery accredited provision.
- Gain insight into how local advice services could be strengthened to improve referral pathways and support early interventions.
- Ensure that any future procurement is proportionate, delivers value for money and reflects the needs of residents and stakeholders. Through this market engagement, the Authority wishes to better understand:
- The level of market interest in delivering the proposed service.
- Opportunities for partnership, consortium or alliance-based delivery.
- Effective approaches to triage, referral management and prioritisation.
- The capacity of providers to deliver preventative and early intervention support.
- Risks, challenges and dependencies that should be considered within any future procurement. The Authority is interested in feedback on a range of potential delivery approaches, including:
- A single lead accredited provider model.
- A consortium or partnership model involving multiple organisations with capacity building to support a quality standard of advice.
- Community-based triage and navigation functions.
- Models that build capacity within the wider voluntary and community sector through training, resources and responsive referral pathways. The Authority welcomes feedback on alternative approaches that may better achieve the desired outcomes and improve access, resilience and wellbeing for residents.

How NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL buys Social work services (CPV 8531), and who usually turns up
NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL’s published record next to the market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are left out: they draw different bid counts. Whole-market view: Social work services (CPV 8531) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 48 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?

Where winning prices landed against estimates.

Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

Within ±2%43% / 85%

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
