What is being bought

The City of Wolverhampton Council, on behalf of the Black Country local authorities (Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, and Wolverhampton), is preparing to launch a procurement exercise for a new Highway Works Framework to replace the current Black Country Minor Works Framework, which is approaching expiry. We are seeking to engage with the market at this early stage to help shape the scope, structure, and approach of the new framework. The framework will aim to provide a flexible, efficient, and value-driven mechanism for delivering highways-related projects across the Black Country. The framework is anticipated to be multi-lot and multi-supplier, with a potential duration of up to 4 years. We are looking to: Gauge interest from the market Understand capacity and capability Test assumptions around lotting strategy, contract structure, and delivery models Identify potential challenges or opportunities ahead of formal procurement. If you would like to participate in the Preliminary Market Engagement please complete and submit the questionnaire available on the ProContract portal. wolverhamptontenders.com

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads (45233000); 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 4517,1314 median · 30.2 average (5,652 of 17,131 with a bid count)3.8 average (6,249 of 17,131 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKG3744.5 median · 73.4 average (26 of 74 with a bid count)8 average (28 of 74 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.
