Summary of the contracting process

The Buckinghamshire Council has recently completed the procurement of the "BISS – Buckinghamshire Integrated Sensory Service". This contract, classified under "Social work and related services" (CPV code 85300000), was intended to support various individuals with sensory impairments, including assessment, support planning, and equipment provision. The procurement process followed an open procedure and the contract was formally awarded on 24 June 2022 for a total value of £1,406,670. The service is based in Aylesbury, UK, and the project was designed to last for an initial three years, with possible extensions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, especially those focused on sensory impairments. Companies that excel in assessment and support services, equipment provision, and advice for individuals with hearing and visual disabilities would be well-positioned to compete. The emphasis on quality in the award criteria, which allocates 60% of the score to quality and 40% to price, underscores the potential for organisations that can demonstrate high standards of service delivery. Interested providers were required to register with the Buckinghamshire Business Portal to participate in the bidding process.
