Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Bus maintenance services (50113200); 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 509,2234 median · 22.4 average (3,784 of 9,223 with a bid count)3.2 average (4,299 of 9,223 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 requirement also includes service records inspection, site examinations (to quantify the vehicle maintenance standard) and to produce bus operator identified vehicle trends.\nEQM is an integral service to Bus Engineering as this allows TfL to monitor the fleet condition, spot trends and help deliver a safe and reliable service to agreed standards and specifications.\nThe work needs to be carried out by fully trained and qualified inspection engineers who are totally independent of the bus operating companies; also the engineers must be fully conversant with buses and Vehicle and Operator Service Agency (VOSA) standards. \nThis will ensure all bus operators are keeping their buses maintained to the standard required by TfL and in line with VOSA recommendations. Additional information: TfL will manage this process in an open and transparent manner. Interested parties will not be prejudiced by any response or failure to respond to the market engagement exercise. Direct or indirect canvassing of any employee or agent of TfL or any TfL group company by any company concerning this requirement, or any attempt to procure information from any such employee or agent concerning this PIN outside of the formal process described in this document may result in the disqualification of the company from consideration of any future procurement activity.\nThis PIN is issued solely for the purposes of the market engagement. No information contained in this document, or provided during and for the market engagement exercise, constitutes any commitment by TfL or any other member of the TfL group or any of its or their stakeholders to undertake any procurement exercise in the future. This PIN does not constitute a call for competition to procure any services, supplies or works for TfL and TfL is not bound to accept any proposals offered. TfL is not liable for any costs, fees or expenses incurred by any party participating in the market engagement. Any possible future procurement of any services, supplies or works by TfL would be carried out strictly in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Utilities Contracts Regulations.",
