What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council wish to develop an effective, co-ordinated, one front door model of good quality advice provision which meets the needs of the borough’s residents. The Council wants to build on best practice and provide a person-centred service to deliver information and advice through a combination of assisted and supported advice (Tier 1) and specialist advice (Tier 2). This will be complemented by legal advice being delivered at Tier 3. All social care referral, homeless referral and or hospitalisation Tier 4 advice will be referred into the appropriate Council teams. The commissioned Service will act as the primary front door for all social welfare advice queries and host and an efficient and robust triage, referral and assessment function with clear connectivity to the wider social welfare and advice services offered both in and outside of the Council.

Published award criteria (2)
  • quality: 90
  • Price: 10
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 10 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
