Framework
An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
Open for bids / closing date
You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
Clarification questions
A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
Conditions of participation
What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
Bids are scored on
How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
Lots
A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
Area (ITL)
The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
UK4 and other notice codes
Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description

Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) provides mental health services across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire, from more than 90 community and inpatient sites and through partnerships with external organisations. Services include acute mental health, recovery, liaison and dementia services, forensic services, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and a range of highly specialist mental health services. AWP is currently in segment 3 of the NHS Oversight Framework and rated Amber-Green under the Provider Capability assessment. Following a Care Quality Commission inspection in 2024, reported in May 2025, the Trust’s well-led rating was ‘requires improvement’. AWP operates across two financially challenged Integrated Care Systems and works with the South West Provider Collaborative for mental health services. The Board has invested in strengthening external stakeholder relationships and reviewing partnership working models. It has also experienced material membership changes since the previous well-led inspection, including a new Chair in autumn 2024 and three new Non-Executive Directors commencing in 2026. AWP now requires an independent, developmental review of leadership and governance against the Care Quality Commission well-led framework. The review will provide objective and constructive challenge, identify prioritised developmental actions and inform targeted improvement work to secure and sustain future performance.
