The Authority is working in partnership with Preston City Council (PCC). A requirement of PCC is to ensure the Provider meets the current housing requirements as part of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) Supported Housing Improvement Programme (SHIP). The purpose of the SHIP programme is to improve standards, establish the need, ensure value for money and positive impact on local communities of supported housing. As part of the programme Preston City Council are carrying out reviews of all supported housing within the city, joint working with Housing Standards, Housing Benefits, Housing Options, external agencies and providers of supported accommodation in Preston. Phase 1 In order to ensure the service meets the SHIP standards, all applicants will be required to complete and submit the Supported Accommodation Questionnaire on the PCC website www.preston.gov.uk https://www.preston.gov.uk/article/9099/Guidance-for-new-supported-housing-schemes Phase 2 On successful submission you will receive a unique code. Following this, the PCC SHIP team will verify the documents and commence the inspection. The process will take up to eight weeks to complete., The SHIP team will provide written notification of the outcome of their inspections. The Authority will only accept approved SHIP applications. Evidence will be required as part of the submission and will be a pass/fail requirement. It is anticipated the tender will be available for application from March 2025.

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 8538,3711 median · 19.7 average (22,930 of 38,371 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,591 of 38,371 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.
