Palatine Beds require experienced providers to help support with deliveries, collections and PLIS works over a four-year contract period. The framework is anticipated to start August 2025 and involves deliveries, collections and PLIS works of all sizes across the country. To meet the above requirements, the Council wishes to establish a single Lot Framework Agreement. It is anticipated that a maximum of three suppliers will be appointed to the framework on a ranked basis.

| Item | Category | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Road transport services, Transport agency services, Mail delivery services, Parcel delivery services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 60. The category anchor is Road transport services (60100000); 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 60 | 4,670 | 12 median · 24.5 average (3,928 of 4,670 with a bid count) | 1.4 average (3,949 of 4,670 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 168 | 5 median · 33.3 average (34 of 168 with a bid count) | 5.1 average (36 of 168 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 60 | 3 median · 6.7 average (3 of 60 with a bid count) | 2 average (3 of 60 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
