Kingston Council’s standstill period on the award of new Homecare Contracts has now ended.  The competition was strong with the Council cutting down the number of suppliers from 24 to just 3.

For this latest contract win worth around £1m annually for the next three to five years our support included:

• Assisting with policies, procedures and quality standards proposals within the Pre-Qualification stage of the tender to ensure a high score and an invitation to the full tender stage
• Bid management for the tender stage including proposals on contract implementation and operational plans, planning and creation of method statement responses using approaches that get high scores, engaging with current suppliers on TUPE requests and building detailed price models
• Following on from the tender stage we then coached our client’s operational staff to perform as a well honed team for final presentations to the Council

The whole process has involved working closely with our client over some 6 months, sometimes at their sites and sometimes remotely from our offices, but the focus has never wavered as the whole team was determined to win.
