What is being bought

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) is seeking to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of engineering services. Dstl undertake a variety of Machining, Fabrication and Electro-Mechanical engineering activities in support of Tasks placed on the organisation within a dynamic Defence environment. The range of Tasks dictates the type, scale and sensitivity of requirements on a case-by-case basis, and is often requested within very tight timescales. To fulfil these Tasks, Dstl adopts a flexible, responsive and adaptable approach to each, which requires working closely with its supply base; building a strong working relationship is key to achieving the desired outcomes. This Framework Agreement (FA) is to provide a range of Engineering Services and Support, delivering prototypes, small batch projects and trials support across the full breadth of Dstl programmes of work, managed through the Dstl Engineering Capability. The majority of requirements will involve bespoke services, however goods, services and on occasion off the shelf items may be requested. The Framework Agreement is divided into three Lots: - Lot 1: Machining - Lot 2: Fabrication - Lot 3: Electro-Mechanical Bidders may submit a DSPQQ response in relation to one or more of these three Lots. Quantity or scope: The estimated total value of this Framework Agreement (all Lots), including the 2-year extension period, is in the region of £3,000,000 - £5,000,000 (excl. VAT) This is based on an estimated value for all Lots of £420,000 - £720,000 (excl. VAT) per annum.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Engineering services (71300000); 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 7110,1215 median · 30 average (4,042 of 10,121 with a bid count)4.2 average (4,448 of 10,121 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": "The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) is seeking to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of engineering services. \nDstl undertake a variety of Machining, Fabrication and Electro-Mechanical engineering activities in support of Tasks placed on the organisation within a dynamic Defence environment.  \nThe range of Tasks dictates the type, scale and sensitivity of requirements on a case-by-case basis, and is often requested within very tight timescales. \nTo fulfil these Tasks, Dstl adopts a flexible, responsive and adaptable approach to each, which requires working closely with its supply base; building a strong working relationship is key to achieving the desired outcomes.  \nThis Framework Agreement (FA) is to provide a range of Engineering Services and Support, delivering prototypes, small batch projects and trials support across the full breadth of Dstl programmes of work, managed through the Dstl Engineering Capability.\nThe majority of requirements will involve bespoke services, however goods, services and on occasion off the shelf items may be requested. \nThe Framework Agreement is divided into three Lots:\n - Lot 1: Machining\n - Lot 2: Fabrication\n - Lot 3: Electro-Mechanical\nBidders may submit a DSPQQ response in relation to one or more of these three Lots. Quantity or scope: The estimated total value of this Framework Agreement (all Lots), including the 2-year extension period, is in the region of £3,000,000 - £5,000,000 (excl. VAT)\nThis is based on an estimated value for all Lots of £420,000 - £720,000 (excl. VAT) per annum.",
