Original Tender Description

Warwickshire County Council is seeking bids for care home block contracts for Pathway 2 Residential Short Stay Bed block contracts, commissioned for patients whose discharge from hospital is being led by Adult Social Care (currently short stay social care assessments beds and moving on beds). Pathway 2 Residential Short Stay Beds provide short-term residential care for people who are medically optimised for discharge from hospital but are unable to return home, therefore requiring a short stay in a care home setting to support their recovery and time for assessment for future needs. People will stay in the service until their assessment and ongoing arrangements have been determined. Moving On Beds: are for people that are medically fit for discharge and can return home but require further support and time before this can take place. People that use a MOB typically return home once environmental or social issues are resolved and have an average length of stay of 6 weeks. D2A Short Stay Beds: are for people that are medically fit for discharge whose needs have increased since their admission to hospital meaning they are unable to return to their normal place of residence. They require assessment and time to recover to understand their future requirements, whether this is to return home or to go into long term care. People that use a D2A Short Stay Bed have an average length of stay of 4 weeks. The Council is seeking to award approximately 52 D2A short stay beds and 8 Moving on beds across three Place areas in Warwickshire, these being North Warwickshire, Rugby and South Warwickshire.

This tender for care home block contracts is generally well-structured with clear descriptions and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and technical/financial requirements, impacting completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement regulations, including a clear CPV code and a competitive flexible procedure. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered short by some. No disputes are noted. The absence of a reveal date is a minor oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the services required, including 'Pathway 2 Residential Short Stay Bed block contracts', 'Moving On Beds', and 'D2A Short Stay Beds', is detailed and understandable. The target patient groups and geographical areas are clearly specified.

Completeness70/100

While basic information like title, organization, value, and deadlines are present, the tender is incomplete due to the lack of specific technical capability, financial requirements, and detailed submission requirements. The absence of content for attached documents is also a significant gap.

No specific technical capability requirements detailed
No specific financial requirements detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender is fair as it is an open procedure, and the estimated value is disclosed. The requirements are described in a way that allows for broad participation, without appearing tailored to specific companies. The use of a competitive flexible procedure suggests a structured evaluation process, though the criteria themselves are missing.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission, document URLs, and financing details reduces its practicality for potential bidders. The deadline might also be challenging for comprehensive proposal preparation.

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, indicating good data integrity within the provided information.
