How to Read This Tender
- 1Read the “Award Criteria” section on the London Tenders portal to understand how your proposal will be scored – focus on both quality and value for money
- 2Check the definitions of “preventative” and “early‑intervention” services – the buyer expects community‑based, non‑clinical work, not hospital‑based treatment
- 3Look for any mandatory compliance clauses (e.g., safeguarding, GDPR, NHS standards) that may be in the full specifications – missing them can disqualify your bid
Tips for Small Businesses
- Partner with local charities or community groups to broaden your service capacity without needing a large in‑house team
- Highlight social value – e.g., employing local residents or offering culturally‑sensitive support – as this is often weighted in PSR assessments
- Consider a joint venture or consortium if you lack the full range of expertise; the PSR process allows collaborative bids
