Original Tender Description

Medway Council is looking to commission an effective, accessible and equitable All-Age Drugs and Alcohol Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Service. The service will support children, young people and adults to access a full range of interventions. A comprehensive Health Needs assessment has highlighted gaps in the local system. This new commissioning arrangement is a major step towards aligning contracts, pathways, governance and workforce under a single lead provider model. The core principles for the new contract are focused on tailored, person-centred and age-appropriate care, prevention and early intervention, recovery-focused support, accessible and flexible services, partnership and integrated working, lived experience and co-production, safeguarding and safety, evidence-based innovation and accountability, and staff wellbeing and development. The provider will also be required to deliver a successful Individual Placement Support (IPS) programme.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for an All-Age Substance Misuse Service is well-structured with a clear description and defined scope, but lacks explicit evaluation criteria and details on green procurement.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender follows an open procedure and specifies a relevant CPV code. The timeline appears reasonable for the complexity of the service. The reference to NHS Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 indicates adherence to specific legal frameworks. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria is a notable omission.

Missing evaluation criteria
Clarity80/100

The description of the service is comprehensive, detailing the scope, objectives, and core principles. The AI-extracted requirements further clarify the expected capabilities and experience. The link to the eSourcing portal suggests further detailed documentation is available.

Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, estimated value, and contract duration is present. The contract start date and submission deadline are clearly stated. However, the lack of accessible content for the 4 tender documents is a significant gap, and financial requirements beyond the total value are not detailed.

No document content available
Missing financial requirements details
Fairness85/100

The tender is open and uses an e-procurement portal, promoting accessibility. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for service delivery are outlined. There are no apparent requirements tailored to specific companies, suggesting a fair competitive process.

Practicality65/100

The tender utilizes an eSourcing portal for submission, which is a standard practice. A URL for the eSourcing portal is provided. The contract start date is specified. However, information regarding financing is not explicitly detailed, and the duration with extension options is clear.

Financing information not explicitly detailed
