Original Tender Description

Objectives of Engagement Since the introduction of the Serious Violence Duty, the Birmingham Violence Reduction Board partners have worked together, to share information and plan to work effectively as partner organisations to deliver services that reduce and prevent violence. Our aim is to establish a network of experienced and innovative youth service providers to deliver interventions for young people aged 10-25 years (up to 25 for those with SEND or care leavers) to enable the Council and partners to commission services that prevent and reduce involvement in violence, offending, and exploitation, while promoting positive development and resilience. At this stage, the City Council is aiming to further understand and engage with providers to deliver a range of high quality, evidence-based interventions to support children in Birmingham. These maybe providers that are already delivering, or in a good position to start to deliver interventions and/or activities and can demonstrate how their work will support priority of violence prevention and reduction. The interventions and activities should have clear aims and objectives and evidence of robust outcomes that demonstrate these aims have been reached. Scope of Services Providers will deliver one or more of the following intervention categories: • Mentoring (One-to-One, Group, Peer-to-Peer) • Social Skills Development • Detached and Outreach Youth Work • Psychological Therapies • Parenting Programmes • Specialist Programmes (e.g., gang exit, awareness training, advocacy)

Tender Quality Score

This Birmingham City Council preliminary market engagement notice is clear and socially focused, but its transparency and practicality are diminished by a classified value and lack of e-submission.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

As a planning-stage notice, full legal compliance for a formal tender is not expected. Deadlines are reasonable for market engagement, and the CPV code is appropriate. However, the undefined procedure type and classified value are minor weaknesses.

Undefined procurement procedure type
Classified estimated value
Clarity85/100

The objectives, scope of services, and AI-extracted requirements are very clear and unambiguous. The absence of evaluation criteria is understandable for a preliminary market engagement phase.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information, deadlines, duration, and documents are present. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, evaluation criteria are missing, and key fields like 'Type' and 'Procedure' are unpopulated.

Estimated value not disclosed
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness65/100

Document access is full, and requirements appear generic. However, the classified value reduces transparency, and the lack of e-submission creates a barrier to equal access. The absence of evaluation criteria also impacts transparency regarding future selection.

Value classified
No e-submission option
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of e-submission is a significant practical drawback, and the lack of disclosed financing information (value) hinders practical assessment by providers.

No e-submission option
Financing information (value) not available
Data Consistency70/100

Dates are logical and consistent, and there are no disputes. However, several key fields such as 'Liable Person', 'Type', and 'Procedure' are unpopulated, and the value is undisclosed, indicating data incompleteness.

Several key fields unpopulated (Liable Person, Type, Procedure)
Value not disclosed
Sustainability80/100

The tender has a strong focus on social aspects, aiming to prevent violence and promote positive development among young people, and explicitly seeks innovative providers. Green procurement aspects are not included, which is common for this service type.

No green procurement aspects
