Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Community health services (85323000); 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.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8538,3731 median · 19.7 average (22,929 of 38,373 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,591 of 38,373 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“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.

    "procurementMethodRationale": "As part of the winter pressure strategy, the Health Board has allocated funding to engage hospital discharge support workers who will work to;\n- accept referrals for those patients needing a residential or nursing home placement in the Cardiff or Vale of Glamorgan area.\n- provide practical assistance (including transport) to enable older people and/or their carers to visit homes and make an informed choice. Continue to keep contact with service users, social workers and health professionals until placement is completed.\n- respond to requests for advice, information and support from patients, carers and families with regard to residential and nursing home placements.\n- keep up to date with procedures on Protection of Vulnerable Adults and respond accordingly to reports of alleged abuse\n- provide a range of information and advice on other sources of help where necessary and liaise appropriately with other statutory and voluntary services.\n- provide active signposting to other statutory and voluntary services\n- keep in touch with developments and information about residential and nursing home care both locally and nationally in order to inform the ongoing development of the service\nThe Discharge Support Officer role has grown significantly and is now providing support to the majority of wards both at UHL and UHW sites.\nThe function undertaken by the Discharge Support Officers is complex in nature and requires a level of skill and knowledge that is gained by practical experience. It has taken some time for the required level of expertise to be gained via the pilot scheme. It is unlikely that the level of knowledge, familiarity of surroundings, relationships with ward Teams, UHB processes and required experience, would be sufficiently developed to be productive via a new provider, within the time frame of the proposed 1 year contract.\nThe contract requires a degree of flexibility from the workforce, in response to service requirements, which can only be met if individuals are experienced and knowledgeable in the requirements of the service.\nAge Connects has an existing network of contacts within the third sector and has developed excellent working relations with colleagues in the UHB board.\nBased on the above, the Health Board is applying a 10 day standstill period prior to awarding a one year contract with an option to extend for a further year.",
