Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 39. The category anchor is Textile articles (39500000); 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 392,7356 median · 49.7 average (1,269 of 2,735 with a bid count)5.7 average (1,377 of 2,735 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.

  "description": "Please note that information relating to contractors engaged by the Northern Ireland Department of Justice, and associated bodies is not published in any publicly accessible forum or publication. This is to protect such contractors, whose security and safety could be threatened by dissident terrorist organisations still active in Northern Ireland if their details became known. This is consistent with Regulation 50(6)(a). Since this is a demand-led requirement, neither CPD nor Northern Ireland Prison Service can provide any guarantee. as to the level of business under this contract. The estimated contract values are broad estimates only, include additional quantum for. unforeseen demand and to future proof for additional potential users. The estimates are not deemed to be a condition of contract nor. a guarantee of minimum demand or uptake. No compensation will be payable to a contractor should the actual demand be less than. that stated. Contract monitoring: the successful Contractor's performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not. delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a Contractor fails. to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still. fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If. this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act. of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance,. and this contract may be terminated. The issue of a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance will result in the. Contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies. covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of up to 3 years from the date of issue of the notice.",

This is to protect such contractors, whose security and safety could be threatened by dissident terrorist organisations still active in Northern Ireland if their details became known. This is consistent with Regulation 50(6)(a). Since this is a demand-led requirement, neither CPD nor Northern Ireland Prison Service can provide any guarantee. as to the level of business under this contract. The estimated contract values are broad estimates only, include additional quantum for. unforeseen demand and to future proof for additional potential users. The estimates are not deemed to be a condition of contract nor. a guarantee of minimum demand or uptake. No compensation will be payable to a contractor should the actual demand be less than. that stated. Contract monitoring: the successful Contractor's performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not. delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a Contractor fails. to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still. fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If. this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act. of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance,. and this contract may be terminated. The issue of a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance will result in the. Contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies. covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of up to 3 years from the date of issue of the notice.",
