DIO will be carrying out an External Assistance engagement Event 23 April 13:00 using MS TEAMS. The event aims to provide industry with information about opportunities in the upcoming Defence Water Services Programme (DWSP), Aquatrine Expiry project, and wider DIO PFI portfolios. DIO will provide clarity regarding how DIO contracts for External Assistance (EA) are awarded, what types of EA may be required and how suppliers can get involved. Crown Commercial Services will give a talk on their framework and how competitions are undertaken within categories or “Lots”. Further topics to be included will be focused on the Terms and Conditions of DIO contracts including - Security, IPR and Conflict of Interest. A Question-and-Answer session will be available to the audience with the ability to provide feedback on the event. The aim of the event is to provide an upfront transparent view of the potential requirements in the DIO PFI portfolio and provide clarity on contracting terms and processes with a view to conducting informed and successful future competitions. Slides presented and all Questions and Answers will be shared after the event with attendees and with those who registered an interest.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 66. The category anchor is Financial consultancy services (66171000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 66 | 2,758 | 3 median · 17.2 average (1,185 of 2,758 with a bid count) | 2.5 average (1,317 of 2,758 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKG | 121 | 1 median · 11.3 average (38 of 121 with a bid count) | 3.4 average (40 of 121 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 183 | 11.5 median · 11.5 average (2 of 183 with a bid count) | 6 average (2 of 183 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.
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.
