Original Tender Description

Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation Trusts require a partner to provide a Mental Health Crisis Housing service. The aim is to provide an alternative and supporting environment for adults in emotional and/or psychological distress due to the onset of or existing mental illness whose ordinary place of residence may contain elements that are over-stressing or simply not conductive to recovery at the time of crisis. Provision will work to the recovery approach which is a personal individual process of overcoming the negative impact of a mental health episode. Service users will continue with their care under the Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment team (CRHT) during their stay. The Crisis House service will actively support service users throughout their stay in managing their risk and care plans developed by the CRHT, operating an active 24/7 provision. The current service does not require the provider to deliver any clinical or therapeutic interventions it is therefore assumed any future procurement of this service would fall under the scope of the Procurement Act 2023 legislation as opposed to the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. The Authority is, however, using this pre-market engagement (PME) stage as a fact-finding process to help us understand the market, capabilities, and nature of the service, which is critical for choosing the correct procurement route. For the avoidance of doubt this is not a call for competition. The Authority reserves the right to abandon this procurement and/or change the procurement route as a result of the conclusions of the PME responses and any subsequent changes to our existing specification.

Tender Quality Score

This is a well-described pre-market engagement (PME) for a Mental Health Crisis Housing service, clearly outlining the service needs and legal context, though lacking some formal tender elements due to its preliminary nature.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines itself as a pre-market engagement, not a call for competition, and references the relevant Procurement Act 2023. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no disputes. The 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields being 'None' is a formal gap but understandable for a PME.

Type and Procedure fields are 'None'
Clarity80/100

The description of the Mental Health Crisis Housing service is clear and unambiguous, detailing the scope and approach. AI-extracted requirements are well-categorized and understandable. The absence of formal evaluation criteria is noted but less critical for a PME.

No formal evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most essential information, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and location (NUTS code), is provided. However, one document failed to provide a summary, and formal evaluation criteria are missing. The 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are also not fully populated.

One document failed to download/summarize
No formal evaluation criteria specified
Fairness85/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements appear generic and not tailored to a specific company. While formal evaluation criteria and e-submission are absent, these are less critical for a pre-market engagement stage focused on market understanding rather than competitive award.

No formal evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission option mentioned
Practicality65/100

Key practical information such as contract start date, duration, and estimated value are provided. However, the lack of an explicit e-submission option is a practical drawback in modern procurement, even for a PME.

No e-submission option mentioned
Data Consistency90/100

The data provided is largely consistent and logical, with dates making sense in relation to the current date and future contract. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. Minor empty fields like 'Liable Person' are noted but do not significantly impact consistency.

Liable Person field is empty
Sustainability50/100

While the core service itself addresses a significant social need, the tender documentation does not explicitly incorporate broader sustainability aspects such as green procurement criteria, additional social clauses for the provider, or an innovation focus.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No additional social criteria beyond the core service
