Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Psychiatric hospital services (85111500); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 85 | 11,474 | 1 median · 41.4 average (4,804 of 11,474 with a bid count) | 2.2 average (5,493 of 11,474 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 2 | 1 median · 1 average (1 of 2 with a bid count) | 1 average (1 of 2 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKC2 | 20 | 1 median · 1.2 average (10 of 20 with a bid count) | 1 average (10 of 20 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
No documents are published in the current source record.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.

"procurementMethodRationale": "The young person is a looked after child from the West Midlands area and, therefore, the responsibility for the gatekeeping decision sat with the West Midlands CAMHS Provider Collaborative (Toucan).\nHowever, as the young person had been placed in Carlisle and subsequently presented in crisis to the Section 136 Suite within Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW), initial contact was made with the Central Referral Coordination Hub, Toucan. During these discussions, it was clearly communicated that the responsibility for undertaking the gatekeeping assessment rested with the West Midlands Collaborative.\nFollowing detailed clinical discussions and a review of the available clinical information, a decision was made by the Child and Adolescent Consultant Psychiatrist, Toucan not to admit the young person to a Tier 4 inpatient psychiatric unit at that time. This decision was communicated to CNTW clinical bed managers and relevant colleagues.\nHowever, four days later, Toucan received notification from Cumbria that the young person had subsequently been admitted to Ferndene General Adolescent Unit (GAU) within the North East. This admission occurred due to the Section 136 period coming to an end and there being no identified discharge destination available for the young person.",
