What is being bought

The Department for education is seeking the provision of initial qualifying social work education through an employment-based, fast-track route. We are looking to secure a contractor to: 1) Train 700 - 900 social workers through 2 cohorts, starting in 2020; 2) Attract high performing graduates to the programme; 3) Assess candidates so that trainees display the highest aptitude for child and family social work; 4) Design and deliver training allowing for accelerated qualification as a social worker; 5) Deliver training and employment placements through partnership with English providers of statutory children's social care services.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); 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.
