How Herefordshire Council buys Real estate services (CPV 70) — and who usually turns up

Herefordshire Council’s own published record, next to the West Midlands market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Real estate services (CPV 70) →

How the contest usually goes

Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested contracts only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides). Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Nobody here is known to be bidding.

Coverage and what to read with care
  • Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
  • Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
  • “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.

Review and risk notes
Risks
During the contract term, changes to legislation, statutory guidance, regulatory requirements or RICS Code of Conduct may materially affect the service specification, delivery model, staffing requirements, reporting obligations or cost of delivery. The nature and extent of any such changes cannot be fully determined more…at the time of tender and may adversely affect satisfactory contract performance if they occur. The Contract may therefore require modification in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 should this known risk materialise.
