What is being bought

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST ACTIVITY** The WAVE Programme is a locally adapted version of the national Pause Programme, designed to offer a more comprehensive and outcome-focused service. Drawing on learning from Pause, WAVE was developed to better meet local needs. The aim of the WAVE service is to reduce future domestic abuse by supporting young people who are in care, or care experienced young people, to make more informed choices regarding Sexual Health, Sexual Safety and Healthy Relationships. The service will also engage with Northamptonshire Children's Trust CIC and Leaving Care teams to provide training and support to these frontline teams. The service and caseloads will predominately be focused on young females (16 -25yrs) but will also seek to develop support to young males leaving Care. The work will be focused on Sexual Health, Sexual Safety, Healthy Relationships and reducing Domestic Violence, with particular focus on supporting young people to access existing services and for the team to work with those services to share a Trauma informed approach. This service will not replace the existing Personal Advisors (PA's) support available to young people but work closely alongside PAs to enhance the offer of support to those identified as at high risk.

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 8516,6231 median · 32.3 average (7,749 of 16,623 with a bid count)2 average (8,674 of 16,623 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UK8981 median · 44.7 average (331 of 898 with a bid count)4.2 average (395 of 898 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)5581 median · 2.5 average (26 of 558 with a bid count)1 average (28 of 558 with named award suppliers)4 comparable price pairs

“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.

Indicative price outcome

£170,782 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £262,500.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
