Published requirement description

Tower Hamlets Council aims to create universal 'safe spaces' in every ward throughout the borough, where young people can stay safe, participate in positive activities and educational opportunities, as well as access additional support from youth workers. The Council intends to achieve this primarily by delivering the services in-house, although there is a need to commission 6 wards where no Council premises are available to run the service, to ensure there is an accessible universal provision available in all borough wards.

Improving services for young people is a key priority in The Tower Hamlets Young Tower Hamlets Strategy 2025-2027. There has been significant investment in the Young Tower Hamlets, to transform the level of support available to children and young people so that they are given the best start in life and have easy access to opportunities to fulfil their potential. The Council's ambition to have youth service provision at ward level is a step towards achieving this vison, as centre-based youth work is recognised to significantly contribute to curricular goals such as health and wellbeing.

The commissioned Universal Ward Based Youth Activity provision will seek to provide youth centre provision in the specialist wards currently lacking in-house delivery.

It will support young people aged 11-19 (up to age 25 with SEN) with access to free, accessible, high quality and well publicised positive activities which embed the Service's commitment to promoting healthy living and provides safe, yet challenging spaces for personal and social development.

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored · same split on all 6 lots
Quality: 60%Price: 30%Social value: 10%
Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 60% - refer to ITT and supporting tender documents
  • Price: 30% - refer to ITT and supporting tender documents

Lot distribution rule: Evaluation of lots Tenders will be evaluated on a lot by lot basis. Each lot will be evaluated separately and independently using the evaluation criteria, weightings and scoring methodology as set out in the ITT. Tenderers will receive a separate evaluation score for each lot they bid for. Scores will not be aggregated, transferred or compared across the different lots. Award of contracts For each lot, tenders will be ranked in order of their final weighted evaluation score. Subject to all tender requirements being satisfied, the highest scoring compliant tenderer for each lot will be awarded the contract for that specific lot. Contract awards will be made strictly in accordance with the evaluation methodology and procedures as described in the ITT.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
