What is being bought

Kent County Council (the Council) is the largest local authority in England covering an area of 3,500 square kilometres. It has an annual expenditure of over £1bn on goods and services and a population of 1.6m. The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with the NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group, 12 district councils, and 289 parish/town councils. KCC consists of four directorates: • Adult Social Care and Health; • Children, Young People and Education; • Growth, Environment and Transport; and • Strategic and Corporate Services. This service is being commissioned on behalf of the Major Capital Programme Team which sits within the Growth, Environment and Transport directorate. The A249 Bearsted Road scheme is an important infrastructure improvement which aims to address congestion in Maidstone. The Bearsted Road scheme involves widening Bearsted Road to provide a 4-lane dual carriageway and a shared footway/cycleway on the southern side of Bearsted Road between the crematorium and New Cut Road. The 'Next' roundabout will be signalised, whilst enlarging and signalising the New Cut (KIMs) roundabout, together with an alternative access and service roads to the Newnham Court Shopping Village.

Lot details

Lot 1

The objective of the Bearsted Road scheme is to improve capacity and operational efficiency, together with improved infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. The highway extents are highly constrained and therefore the available solutions are limited particularly as there is a need to minimise land take and any commercial impact on Newnham Court Shopping Village. The scheme is expected to deliver improved capacity, better pedestrian and cycling connectivity. The dualling option will make it possible for future traffic incidents or maintenance requirements to be catered for under lane closures, therefore enabling a two-way flow of traffic to be maintained and reducing congestion. Additional information: This contract has been awarded using a Price per Quality Point (PQP) assessment, as outlined in the tender documents.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction work (45000000); 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 458,9494 median · 24.6 average (1,976 of 8,949 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,170 of 8,949 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.
