What is being bought

The Estates & Capital Projects Department (ECPD) at the British Museum seeks to appoint a Building Information Management (BIM) Partner to support BIM implementation through the establishment of a Framework. The goal of the framework is to improve the use of building information through the lifecycle of the building. ECPD has identified business needs to improve its understanding of its built environment (fabric, asset and operational), improve data management and access, enhance data efficiency, and improve both its CAPEX project delivery and OPEX operational activities. A single supplier will be appointed to the Framework Agreement to ensure consistency of approach and allow the Museum the flexibility it requires to call off consultancy assistance as and when needed.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (71000000); 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 714,5694 median · 28.6 average (1,408 of 4,569 with a bid count)3.8 average (1,548 of 4,569 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.
