What is being bought

The London Borough of Hackney has appointed 3 providers to a framework to provide Special Educational Needs Supported Internship placements for young people in the borough. A key objective of this framework will be for each intern to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to successfully enter the world of work, and will subsequently gain sustainable paid employment at the end of the programme. The framework will be established for an initial duration of 24 months, with the option to extend for up to 24 further months in annual increments at the Council's discretion. The contract is anticipated to begin on 1st October 2025. The estimated value of the framework is approximately £832,500 per annum, equating to £1,665,000 over the 2 years and up to £3,330,000 if it is extended for a further 2 years (in annual increments)

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Special education services (80340000); 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 803,4593 median · 37.4 average (1,328 of 3,459 with a bid count)3.5 average (1,455 of 3,459 with named award suppliers)1 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.
