| 1 | Railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts (34600000); 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 34 | 2,531 | 3 median · 25.5 average (888 of 2,531 with a bid count) | 3.6 average (978 of 2,531 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 12 | 6 median · 6 average (1 of 12 with a bid count) | 1 average (1 of 12 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKC | 117 | 3 median · 17.2 average (38 of 117 with a bid count) | 2.9 average (43 of 117 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 172 | 3 median · 3 average (5 of 172 with a bid count) | 1 average (6 of 172 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.
| Milestone | Type | Due | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| During market research and engagement, it was discovered that the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is the sole holder of the intellectual property rights (IPR) and exclusive rights necessary for the supply and maintenance. These rights prevent any other supplier from legally or technically providing the required solution. No reasonable alternative or substitute exists that would meet the specification without infringing on these rights. Therefore, a direct award to ZF Group is justified under the Procurement Act 2023, specifically Schedule 5, Paragraph 5 - Single Supplier Grounds. | engagement | Not published | met |
