What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council currently has 1 block contract for Nursing Dementia Care. This contract is used for the majority of placements the Council makes for people with Nursing Dementia needs in the borough. This contract will expire shortly, therefore in order to ensure that supply matches the continued demand for nursing dementia care home placements (and to assist with speedy hospital discharges) the Council wants to commission new block contracts securing 30 nursing dementia beds in total. The Council is undertaking a full compliant open tender exercise in order to put a longer-term contract in place that will deliver best value for money for the Council and its users. The block contracts will be for a period of 2 years with an option to extend for up to an additional 4 years (2+2).

What this means for your bid

Price carries 60 of 60 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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