Original Tender Description

Supported housing can be a powerful intervention in enabling individuals to remain independent in their own homes. The Authority aims to build on its successful Supported Housing programme by enhancing and expanding its current service offer of short-term accommodation and support (1-2 years) helping individuals maintain independence, develop resilience, wellbeing and practical skills to sustain tenancies, prevent homelessness and hospital admissions, enabling them to progress towards recovery and independent living – whilst reducing pressures on statutory services. The specification builds on long-standing services from the Supporting People Programme and subsequent commissioned services, retaining core principles while taking advantage of the Authority’s broader remit as a housing authority. It is ambitious in the vision to deliver a comprehensive supported housing offer for individuals with diverse physical and mental health needs linked to housing and homelessness, providing consistent, high quality, holistic, recovery focused accommodation and floating support across the Authority area. The expansion reflects changes in social care, broadening the focus beyond mental health to include individuals facing multiple disadvantage such as substance use, homelessness, autism, mild learning disabilities and other complex needs where short-term targeted housing support can enable independent living. Preliminary market engagement has been carried out. Information is available at https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043507-2025 Notice identifier: 2025/S 000-043507 The notice was unable to be linked due to the inclusion of Lots at tender stage following market engagement.

Tender Quality Score

This tender outlines a significant social services contract with a clear objective and scope, but its quality is severely hampered by the complete absence of core tender documents and critical information such as evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender appears to follow an open procedure, but the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and the absence of full tender documents raise significant concerns regarding full compliance with procurement regulations, particularly transparency and equal treatment.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided information.
Absence of full tender documents (e.g., Invitation to Tender, contract terms, full specification).
Clarity40/100

The service description is clear and comprehensive, detailing the scope and target groups. However, the absence of full tender documents means crucial details regarding submission, evaluation, and contractual obligations are entirely missing, leading to significant ambiguity for potential bidders.

Lack of detailed submission instructions.
Absence of evaluation criteria.
Completeness83/100

The tender information provided is highly incomplete due to the complete absence of any attached tender documents. This means essential components like the full specification, terms and conditions, contract draft, and detailed instructions for bidders are missing.

No tender documents attached or available.
Missing evaluation criteria.
Fairness60/100

The absence of evaluation criteria and full tender documents severely compromises the fairness and transparency of the procurement process. Bidders cannot adequately prepare proposals or understand how they will be judged, creating an uneven playing field. The broad technical requirements, while not explicitly tailored, could favor incumbents given the reference to 'long-standing services'.

Absence of evaluation criteria, hindering fair assessment.
Potential for incumbent advantage due to reference to 'long-standing services' and lack of detailed requirements for new entrants.
Practicality40/100

From a bidder's perspective, the tender is impractical to respond to effectively without the full suite of documents. The requirements listed are high-level, making it impossible to formulate a compliant and competitive bid.

Impractical for bidders to prepare a comprehensive and compliant response without full tender documents.
Vague financial capacity requirement makes it difficult for bidders to assess their eligibility.
Data Consistency100/100

The provided data points (e.g., estimated value, duration, description matching requirements) are internally consistent. However, the overall consistency and coherence of the tender cannot be fully assessed without the actual tender documents.

Overall consistency cannot be fully assessed due to missing core documents.
Sustainability25/100

The tender explicitly mentions 'Social Criteria' as a characteristic and the service itself is inherently focused on social sustainability by supporting vulnerable individuals. However, the specific details of these social criteria and how they will be evaluated are not provided.

Specifics of 'Social Criteria' are not detailed or linked to evaluation methodology.

Strengths

Clear and comprehensive service description with a strong social objective.
Explicit mention of 'Social Criteria' and focus on vulnerable groups.
Preliminary market engagement was conducted.
Open procedure promotes competition.
Estimated value and contract duration are clearly stated.

Concerns

Critical: Complete absence of tender documents (specification, ITT, contract terms).
Critical: Missing evaluation criteria, severely impacting transparency and fairness.
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided information.
Vague financial capacity requirements.
Potential for incumbent advantage due to reference to 'long-standing services' and lack of detailed requirements for new entrants.

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish all missing tender documents, including the full specification, instructions to tenderers, contract terms, and detailed evaluation criteria.
2. Clearly define and publish mandatory exclusion grounds and specific financial capacity requirements.
3. Provide clear guidance on how 'Social Criteria' will be assessed during evaluation.
