Lot details

Lot 1

The criteria of the service fits within the defined category area of CPV code 85312500-4 "Rehabilitation services, but only insofar as such services are provided to individuals to tackle substance misuse or for the rehabilitation of the mental or physical health of individuals", this states that the criteria of services provided for this contract fall within schedule 1 of PSR 2023 regulations, and as such this contract can be awarded under PSR 2023 regulations. UHBW currently delivers dedicated capacity to develop and implement pathways for substance use service users who attend the hospital for emergency treatment. They have been delivering an extended service from previous years, we will to continue with this extended service from the DATRIG grant that has superseded these for 2025/26. They are the only capable provider of the service BECAUSE we would not be able to split providers to deliver an extension of this current service as this would directly impact the service user in the quality of service they would receive with a disjointed service offer from the main contract and would also not be the most effective use of public funds, we MUST award via "Direct Award Process A" detailed in section 7 of the PSR 2023 regulations. Section 6 (4) of PSR 2023 states that a contracting authority MUST follow the route to direct award if the following terms have been fulfilled; (a)the proposed contracting arrangements relate to relevant health care services in respect of which a patient is offered a choice of provider, (b)the number of providers is not restricted by the relevant authority, (c)the relevant authority will offer contracts to all providers to whom an award can be made because they meet all requirements in relation to the provision of the relevant health care services to patients, (d)the relevant authority has arrangements in place to enable providers to express an interest in providing the relevant health care services, and (e)the procurement is not to conclude a framework agreement, I can confirm that the above requirements are met and as such it is within the bounds of PSR 2023 regulations to directly award this contract to the University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Trust.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Rehabilitation services (85312500); 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 (22,929 of 38,373 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,591 of 38,373 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UKK4091 median · 6.7 average (128 of 409 with a bid count)2.1 average (143 of 409 with named award suppliers)Not published

“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.
