Published requirement description

The Council is required through a ‘sufficiency duty’ to secure sufficient accommodation for

children and young people under their care who cannot live at home.

Children’s Services has developed a specification for semi-independent living to improve the

sufficiency of high-quality supported housing in Dorset through block contracting. The aim is

to provide young people with security and stability for as long as it is needed, as well as to

offer support and accommodation that enables care leavers and vulnerable young people to

feel safe and develop independent living skills. There will be a range of level of support to

meet a variety of requirements of young people, including those with more complex needs.

What it takes to win
i

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored · same split on all 3 lots
Quality: 45%Price: 50%Social value: 5%
Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 45
  • Social Value: 5
  • Price: 50
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework for the Provision of Supported Housing for Young People” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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