Lot details

Lot 1

The City of Edinburgh Council intends to put in place a framework agreement for the provision of contingency resources to assist with Winter Maintenance Operations, which is currently carried out by internal Council services including Roads Operations and Waste & Cleansing. Following the severe weather conditions experienced during the winters of 2008/9 and 2009/10, it was recognised that a contingency framework was required to respond to severe weather events, when internal Council services are operating at capacity.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Hire of construction and civil engineering machinery and equipment with operator (45500000); 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 · 30.3 average (5,651 of 17,131 with a bid count)3.8 average (6,248 of 17,131 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.
