Published requirement description

Born in Bradford (BiB) at Bradford Teaching Hospital Foundation Trust (BTHFT) is seeking to appoint one or more community-based organisations with experience in community engagement and established community networks to collaborate and contribute to “Community Collaboratives” and to support the delivery of research for the Healthy Urban Places (HUP) programme.

Healthy Urban Places (HUP), funded by UK Research Innovation and part of Population Health Improvement UK, is a four-year research programme which aims to create a step change in understanding how best to harness the power of local urban places as tools to improve population health and reduce inequalities.

HUP is exploring how and why local environments (e.g. housing, local amenities, access to jobs, availability of community or social spaces, the way decisions are made or resources invested) influence people’s health, through research with communities and local stakeholders. HUP are establishing ‘Community Collaboratives’ that bring together communities, researchers and decision-makers in Bradford and our sister site, Liverpool. HUP aims to co-produce insights and priorities about what makes a healthy place and seeks to influence place-based changes through local policy and practice. HUP is now seeking community-based organisations to join and take an active role in the Community Collaboratives.

HUP researchers will support community organisations in this collaborative work. Community-based organisations will be responsible for coordinating community-led research activities in their area and engaging local communities and stakeholders. The HUP research team will provide training on research skills and actively support community organisations to co-produce meaningful research on healthy urban places, which can then be shared with local, regional and national decision-makers.

  • How the procedure runs: Stage 1: Evaluation of Response to Technical Questionnaire, Response to Price Questionnaire, and Response to Social Value Questionnaire. Based on these award criteria, it is envisaged that the top two scoring bids from each Lot will be shortlisted for Stage 2. Stage 2: Evaluation of Supplier Presentations from the shortlisted suppliers for each Lot. The combined total score from each Stage will form the final score for each shortlisted supplier. Post Evaluation: Internal approvals process for recommended supplier(s) to award, release of assessment summaries, publication of contract award notice for each Lot, and publication of contract details notice.

Lot distribution rule: Suppliers are able to bid for all the lots available

  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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