Social prescribing bids are usually won on two things: reach and delivery grip. Commissioners want confidence that you can accept referrals smoothly, support people to make changes that matter to them, and coordinate with primary care and VCSE partners, while reporting impact clearly and consistently.
At Bidding, we help providers turn social prescribing and wellbeing models into clear, scoreable tender responses that evaluators can follow quickly.
Social prescribing sits within personalised care, and is closely linked to the social prescribing link worker model in primary care networks. That shapes what gets scored in most tenders.
Social prescribing link workers are expected to take a holistic, person-led approach, so bids score higher when you show how that becomes a repeatable process, not just a principle.
There is now a Social Prescribing Information Standard intended to support recording and maintaining social prescribing support provision collaboratively between patients, link workers and professionals.
Bids score better when they explain:
Routes vary locally, but you will commonly see:
At Bidding, we support social prescribing and wellbeing bids in a practical, evaluator-focused way:
We work alongside your team so the bid reads like a delivery model you can run on day one.
Do you support tenders focused on link workers, or wider wellbeing and community support models?
Yes. We support link worker-style models and broader wellbeing services, and we make referral pathways, roles and delivery processes clear and scoreable.
How do we show impact when outcomes are varied and personal?
We help you combine person-led goals with a small set of consistent measures, plus a clear recording and review cadence, so progress can be evidenced without forcing a one-size-fits-all outcome.
We deliver with VCSE partners. How do we avoid the bid sounding fragmented?
By setting out responsibilities, governance, QA, escalation, and reporting in a simple operating model that shows how it all holds together.
Can Bidding just review what we have, rather than write from scratch?
Absolutely. We can review and comment, prioritise changes that affect scoring most, and uplift only the sections that need it.
Can you support at short notice?
Yes. We can provide extra bid capacity or a focused review plan when timelines are tight.
If you have a social prescribing or wellbeing tender live, get in touch with Bidding and share the ITT (and your draft, if you have one). We’ll recommend the quickest route to strengthen scoring, whether that is a focused review, targeted rewrites of priority sections, or added bid capacity through to submission.
