Working Age Adults Transformation Strategic Delivery Partner
Authority: London Borough of Bromley (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe London Borough of Bromley ("the Council") is seeking a Strategic Delivery Partner to work with the Council's services to Working Age Adults (including services to those residents in transition from Children and Education services to Adult Social Care Services) to transform these services through a programme of transformational change. The requirement for the commission is to give the Council an independent view of what is possible in terms of transformational savings in Working Age Adult (WAA) Services and to use this to enable informed decisions about the services and budget and, ultimately, to improve outcomes for Working Age Adults and their carers.
The project will work across two phases:
Phase 1: Diagnostic study - A detailed review of current provision and costs to size the opportunities and develop a plan for change.
Phase 2: Where the Council is content with the Phase 1 plan for change and savings to be achieved through implementation, the project will move to Phase 2. This could involve the continued support of the Strategic Partner, or alternatively proceed with the work of implementation without further employing the Strategic Partner.

Competition analysis · published record, not a forecast of who will bid
How London Borough of Bromley buys Business and management consultancy services (CPV 7941) — and who usually turns up
London Borough of Bromley’s own published record, next to the Greater London market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Business and management consultancy services (CPV 7941) →
How the contest usually goes
Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested contracts only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides). Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Coverage and what to read with care
- Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
- Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
- “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
