Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Cleaning services (90910000); 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 907,3815 median · 18 average (3,195 of 7,381 with a bid count)3 average (3,443 of 7,381 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.

The Council invites providers to review the full suite of documentation provided. A questionnaire is included for suppliers to complete, enabling them to share feedback that will help shape the future procurement. Please send all completed questionnaires back to Sharon Ward. At this stage, there are no planned site visits or supplier meetings to discuss the feedback received; however, the Council reserves the right to arrange such engagement at a later stage if considered beneficial. The Council will consider all feedback received to inform its options and support further decision-making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project does not form part of a formal procurement process, and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to undertaking such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process and participation will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. The Council is undertaking this stage to seek advice and insights from the market to help inform its understanding of the available scope, delivery models, affordability, commercial options, procurement structure, and opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement. Feedback received will be used to support the development of the Council's procurement strategy, service specification, and tender documentation. This exercise is for information-gathering purposes only, to support a potential future procurement and to assess market interest. The Council is not committing to any course of action or to adopting any information provided at this stage. Sharon Ward, Contracts Manager, will be responsible for issuing the documentation relating to this Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME). To request copies of the documentation associated with this potential cleaning procurement and to express an interest, please email: Sharon Ward Contracts Manager North Northamptonshire Council Sharon.ward@northnorthants.gov.ukengagement1 Jul 2026scheduled
