Extra Care Housing (Western Site)
Authority: NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionCurrently North East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) is planning on procuring a single/lead provider to design, build and manage an extra care housing facility at the former Western Secondary School site, Cambridge Road, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, DN34 5TA (Western Site). The intention is that the contract will also include delivery of support and care at the facility.
Currently, the intention is that there will be three (3) contracts. The first being an Agreement to Lease which will cover the development phase, a Nomination Agreement setting out how the Authority can nominate individuals to be offered accommodation or services by that provider and a service contract to cover delivery of the support and care.
The Authority will be open to the provider acting as the lead organisation within a consortium, or alternatively, engage subcontractors to fulfil specific elements of the Agreement to Lease, Nomination Agreement, and/or service contract. This approach is intended to ensure flexibility in delivery while maintaining clear accountability for the overall contract performance.
The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is to make the market aware of the Authority's intention to procure a single provider for the above and gather feedback on its ideas.
Further information and a questionnaire can be found in the PME document which is accessible via YORtender - uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp ↗

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.
Here, local means registered in Yorkshire and the Humber.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in Yorkshire and the Humber.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 79 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.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Awards are recorded, but published direct routes and bid counts do not establish this buyer’s share.
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?

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.
