What is being bought

The Authority plans to establish a 4 year Framework with 2 Lots to provide inspection and repair services for the overseas Civilian Armoured Vehicle fleet it manages. Each Lot will provide services within a defined regional area. Lot 1 Services within Ukraine, Middle East and Africa Regions. Lot 2 Services within the America's, Europe and Asia Regions. Each vehicle within the global Civilian Armoured Vehicle (CAV) fleet FCDO Services manages is required to be independently inspected and serviced every 12-16 months during its operational life. The objective of these inspections is to service each operational CAV and inspect vehicles for roadworthiness and the condition of all visible armour. A report will be produced detailing the assessed condition of the AV, defects and remedial work undertaken to rectify faults during the inspection. Additional repairs required identified by personnel in country or during inspection services are also in scope of services to be delivered under this Framework 2 suppliers will be awarded to each Lot

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Repair, maintenance and associated services of vehicles and related equipment (50100000); 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 setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 503,0533 median · 24.8 average (740 of 3,053 with a bid count)3.7 average (832 of 3,053 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.
