What is being bought

Stonewater is seeking to procure energy broker and procurement services. We are issuing the Pre Market Engagement Notice as we wish to ask the market a number of questions, answers to which will help us to draft the tender which will follow this PME. Those questions will be available in the Delta portal.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Energy and related services (71314000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison set	Procedures	Reported bids per procedure	Named award suppliers	Price evidence
Market: CPV division 71	9,734	5 median · 29.5 average (3,881 of 9,734 with a bid count)	4.1 average (4,258 of 9,734 with named award suppliers)	Not published
Same buyer	2	Not published	Not published	Not published
Delivery region: UKG	490	5 median · 69.4 average (190 of 490 with a bid count)	7 average (218 of 490 with named award suppliers)	Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)	708	5 median · 6.3 average (11 of 708 with a bid count)	1.4 average (11 of 708 with named award suppliers)	Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
