What is being bought

West Northants Transforming Care supported living opportunity West Northamptonshire Council is preparing to open its Supported Living Framework to procure a provider for its Transforming Care Scheme. This scheme comprises eight self-contained bungalows designed to support autistic individuals with complex needs many of whom also have learning disabilities. We are seeking to engage with providers who have a strong and demonstrable track record in delivering specialist support and managing the complexities associated with this type of service. Providers must be able to evidence successful outcomes, including facilitating hospital discharge and preventing admissions into long-stay hospital settings. Please note that we are working to a tight procurement timeline, with the new provider required to be in place by 1st April 2026. We encourage experienced and suitably qualified providers to attend our virtual Market Engagement Event via MS Teams on 15th October and 22nd October, 2:00-3:00pm. We intend to go live with the opportunity shortly after the market engagement event.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); 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 (22,930 of 38,373 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,592 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.
