The lotProcurement structure
single lot · no lot value publishedLot #1Service Summary: The proposed contract will fund 1FTE Community Wellbeing Practitioner…Planned
Service Summary: The proposed contract will fund 1FTE Community Wellbeing Practitioner role, delivered by a provider to work in close partnership with Turning Point.
Purpose: To provide support to clients in treatment with Turning Point (local treatment provider) who are presenting with low to moderate mental health needs, and without support would disengage from the service and be classed as an unsuccessful completion in treatment.
Aim: To support Oldham residents with co-occurring mental health needs that are assessed to be of a low to moderate level health concern and are also accessing treatment for a substance use disorder or/and in recovery (drugs or alcohol).
Outcomes and Key Deliverables: To provide robust, safe treatment for people with co-occurring conditions through multi-disciplinary working with specialist services. Our objectives are as follows:
To improve support and access to mental health services for those with co-occurring conditions.
To enhance engagement and trust with both services.
For both services to work within a 'side-by-side' approach, providing wrap-around care with increased communication between services.
To build strong working relationships between mental health and drug/alcohol misuse services.
The improved wellbeing of those with co-occurring conditions. This will be measured using the nationally recognised mental wellbeing scale 'The Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale' (S-WEMWBS). This was chosen as it is an accessible, simple questionnaire that will be easily understood by this cohort.
To support improvement of treatment engagement for clients in treatment (measured via NDTMS LOF) Additional information: Link to survey: forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx ↗

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 North West England.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in North West England.
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 66 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.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

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.
