Finding nursing tenders

Most people, when searching for nursing tenders, will simply type those words into Google. Afterall, most of us are used to counting on search engines for results. When you search ‘nursing tenders’, you’ll be met with countless results. There will be thousands of sites alone that feature possible opportunities. The issue is scouring through them all to find a contract suitable for your business.

Most of these websites will not feature a system of making it easy to find out details. You may be looking for a contract specifically in Yorkshire, for example.

The tendering process for emergency services contracts

Although each emergency service may practice a slightly different procurement process, there are generally unifying documents. When you’re tendering for contracts, you need to know what the process will look like. Knowing what’s ahead will help you prepare your tender documents.

PIN

A Prior Information Notice (PIN), this is where the purchasing authority states their intention for goods/services. This could be issued up to 12-months in advance.

SQ

The Selection Questionnaire is produced for suppliers to complete. This would cover the basic and intermediary requirements of the supplier. This process ensures that only suitable suppliers progress to the next stage.

ITT

Once the supplier has been successful with the SQ, they will go on to the invitation to tender stage (ITT). Arguably, this is the heart of most emergency service tenders, as it’s where you’ll do the most work. The main way this document will be evaluated is by selecting the MEAT (Most Economically Advantageous Tender).

Evaluation criteria can be tricky to understand but MEAT is relatively simple. The idea is that the purchasing authority is looking for the lowest priced tender that still upholds the quality requirements.

Who commissions emergency service contracts?

Each of the emergency services shapes its procurement policy around the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. However, this doesn’t mean that their procurement structures are the same…

Ambulance Service

For the ambulance service, the procurement authority is generally Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). These groups exist on a regional level to keep procurement tight, cost-effective and relevant to the area.

Fire Service

Across the U.K, all 45 fires and rescue services (FRS’) perform their own procurement. These services are in turn are advised by Fire and Rescue Authorities, which help them procure goods and services.

Police Service

Each of the 43 police services in England and Wales procure their own goods and services. However, 25 of these forces have entered into collaborative agreements with each other, which help cost-savings and ensure effective procurement. The Home Office further ensures effective spending, acting in a support role to help procurement.

3 points to take into consideration when you’re bidding for dental tenders

1.    Qualifications

It should go without saying that as dental tenders require medical practitioners to bid, they will require extensive standards. After all, any contract within the healthcare sector should have one central aspect – the quality of patient care. And that can only be verified through several qualifications and regulations. Ultimately, when you’re considering whether to bid, you need to ensure that your qualifications match those needed.

2.    Social value

In the public sector, social value is important in the tendering process, weighing as much as 10% in evaluation criteria. Once you provide evidence that you’re adhering to this model of values, you’re chances of winning a dental tender will increase. To demonstrate social value, buyers are looking to see how you are:

  • Supporting COVID 19 recovery – How is your business aiding the local community in recovering from the effects of the pandemic?
  • Tackling social inequality – Do you have functional discrimination policies in place?
  • Fighting climate change – How are you ensuring your sources are sustainable? What are you doing to reduce wastage?
  • Providing equal opportunities – Are you ensuring that anyone regardless of sexuality, race and disability has equal chances of recruitment?
  • Supporting wellbeing – How are you ensuring the health and wellbeing of your patients? Are you actively helping them maintain a good life?

3.    Time management

Keeping on top of dental tender deadlines should be a top priority. If you miss the deadline, you simply won’t be considered. We recommend creating trackers to ensure you meet the deadline. Set internal dates to work towards and organise progress meetings. These will improve team cohesion and help provide a consistent tender response.
