What is being bought

Crescent Purchasing Consortium intend to create an innovative framework for the Education and Wider Public Sectors that will allow customers to efficiently appoint a contractor to deliver capital works and construction projects. The exact design, scope and coverage of the resulting framework is still being refined and will be largely informed by pre-market engagement with key stakeholders and negotiations with the market but it is likely to offer education and public sector bodies clear improvements to alternative routes to market in terms of flexibility, supplier quality, cost-effectiveness and ease of use. The framework is being delivered as a partnership with Crescent Purchasing Consortium acting as the Contracting Authority and Procurement Lead, Weightmans LLP will provide legal support and guidance throughout the life of the agreement and Identity Consult will provide technical support and guidance services.

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 4517,1324 median · 30.2 average (5,652 of 17,132 with a bid count)3.8 average (6,250 of 17,132 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK2,3906 median · 82.9 average (838 of 2,390 with a bid count)7.4 average (933 of 2,390 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.
