Published award criteria (3)
- Quality: Individual questions under the quality criteria will be weighted under submissions scored against a 0-5 methodology. Full details of the requirements and evaluation methodology can be seen in the Submission Document.
- Social Value: Bidders will be required to offer commitments against a number of measures in line with the national TOM's Social Value Framework.
- Cost: Bidders are required to submit their detailed price schedule. Bids must remain within the stated budget.
- Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

The Market Engagement is for a Pre-Hab Service. The Pre-hab Service' will provide a supported housing offer for those individuals who are on a recovery journey but require an additional period of support prior to entering rehabilitation. It will offer 24/7 on-site support to a minimum of 8 people at any one time, plus a short-stay high-support bed. The service aims to provide a vital bridge between an unmanageable life of dependent substance use and abstinence-based recovery. It will enable people who are known to struggle to make the transition into structured treatment with a preparatory step to enable their longer-term outcomes more sustainable.
The service will be delivered in an accommodation-based setting with 24/7 on-site support and intensive housing management to enable individuals prepare people for long-term, sustainable changes in their lifestyle and behaviour. Bidders will be required to source the appropriate building from which to base the service as part of their tender proposal. The service is funded by the Housing Support Grant (HS) element of the Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Improvement Grant (DATRIG).
