What is being bought

The elderly oral health programme started in 2017 and aims to improve the oral health of older people who live both in care homes and in their own homes across the Rochdale borough. The programme trains staff and audits provision related to oral health with the aim of reducing the impact of poor oral health on admissions to hospital for pneumonia, falls, malnourishment dehydration, sepsis and urinary tract infections. It is currently contract managed by Public Health and funded by Adult Care and Support via the Better Care Fund.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); 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 8517,3621 median · 31.5 average (8,218 of 17,362 with a bid count)2 average (9,156 of 17,362 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UKC6721 median · 10.1 average (447 of 672 with a bid count)1.3 average (462 of 672 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

Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe service relates to health care and the importance that good oral health plays on admissions to hospital for older people. The service prevents admissions to hospital for pneumonia, falls, malnourishment dehydration, sepsis and urinary tract infections and the lengths of hospital admissions by ensuring good oral health care is provided. I am seeking to award to an existing provider for health care services, whose contract extension is ending. The proposed delivery arrangements will not change, and I am satisfied that the provider will continue to deliver the service to a high standard. On this basis I would like to request a direct award using process C.
