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

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is procuring a single contract to deliver a Tri-Borough Individual Placement and Support scheme across three boroughs (Bexley, Bromley, and Greenwich). The single contract will be between RBG and the successful Provider, however the successful provider will deliver services to eligible people within the boroughs of Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley. The Individual Placement and Support or IPS, is targeted support which focusses on enabling access to employment for individuals in drug and alcohol recovery, which has been set out in the government's national ten year drug strategy (From Harm to Hope). IPS offers intensive, individually tailored support to assist individuals in drug and alcohol treatment to find sustainable, paid employment. The Tri-Borough IPS scheme will provide bespoke 'packages' of support to assist adults to individuals of working age (18+), resident in the three Boroughs, who are engaged in structured treatment for drug and/or alcohol issues and are out of work. The estimated commencement date shall be 2 January 2027, with a contract end date of 31st March 2029.
