Notice description

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council recently conducted a procurement exercise for the provision of bereavement support services as part of its Public Mental Wellbeing Programme. The requirement was divided into two lots: Lot 1, Community Bereavement Support Service for Children, Young People and Families; and Lot 2, Community Bereavement Support Service for Adults. Lot 1 has been awarded to the supplier that submitted the Most Advantageous Tender following evaluation in accordance with the published award criteria. Lot 2 was not awarded, as no submitted tenders met the minimum quality threshold requirements specified within the procurement documentation.

Coverage and the source register.

What this export cannot show

Award values are not linked to a named supplier, and no ceiling or maximum amount is shown. Those facts stay on the official notice when the notice publishes them. A tender deadline, award dates, supplier sizes, lots, and option or renewal wording appear on contract pages only where a held notice states them. A held process counts as last at tender or planning only when that is the latest stage among the held releases. Where more than one supplier is named, the names are joint and no share is stated.
