Published requirement descriptionDorset Council is seeking tenders from capable service providers for the provision of

guarantee availability of placements, surety of funding for the provider(s) and to ensure best
value through economies of scale where possible. The Total Contract Value is £42,000,000
over the 7-year term. The Framework has the following lots: Lot 1 - Planned and Same Day
Children's Homes Residential Care Children and young people requiring planned and/ or
same day residential care and accommodation only, with preparation for family living, who
are normally resident within the Dorset Council area. Lot 2 - Therapeutic Residential Care

full definition of Therapeutic Care). To gain entry on to the Framework, Tenderers are

Published award criteria (3)
- Quality: 45
- Social Value: 5
- Price: 50
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “The Provision of Children's Residential Care” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
