What is being bought

Cambridge City Council are requesting bidders to provide a quotation for a range of electrical testing and remedial works for properties that are operational, commercial or used in the public realm. This project has been identified by Cambridge City Council as a priority to obtain the condition of the electrical installations on a specific asset area to provide assurance and potential compatible with EV//PV upgrades in future projects. The properties that have been identified range from offices/, commercial units, community centres/, public toilets and car parks. Due to the variety of properties, the functions that they provide and the requirements to keep the operational activity un effected and functioning. The specific requirements regarding working times, access arrangement and the ability to de energise any specific circuits will vary. The contract is listed as a 2 year plus 1 year extension option, however the ability to mobilise and commit resource immediately is essential to the success of the project.

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 4512,9054 median · 27.1 average (3,823 of 12,905 with a bid count)3.7 average (4,214 of 12,905 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.
