What is being bought

Thevaluecircle LLP were initially engaged to scope a programme of works to support the development, and implementation of, the models of care and models of care plus programme. This work was crucial to the Trusts' CQC improvement journey, and timescales for this work precluded the ability to undertake a competitive procurement process, due to the urgent need for works to commence, and are for a very specific project. Thevaluecircle LLP were also working across the Norfolk & Waveney ICB, which allowed a consistent strategic approach when working on this programme.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Business and management consultancy services (79410000); 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 798,4674 median · 35.3 average (3,258 of 8,467 with a bid count)3.2 average (3,667 of 8,467 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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe combined supplier spend was picked up as part of a retrospective spend review process. The urgency and criticality of the requirement outpaced the time required to conduct a suitable procurement process. Although the supplier is listed on suitably qualified and approved framework agreements, the agreement was made outside of the call off order processes.
