Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 14. The category anchor is Granules, chippings, stone powder, pebbles, gravel, broken and crushed stone, stone mixtures, sand-gravel mixtures and other aggregates (14212000); 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.

“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.

Dorset Council has released a Prior Information Notice to indicate the expected launch of a procurement process for the selection of contractors under a Framework Agreement to cover the provision of highway construction material supplies. This Framework relates to the provision of these services to Dorset Council only and is for collections and deliveries. Traditionally, previous generations of this Framework have been 4-year duration, it is now proposed to increase this up to 8 years (with opening points for new entrants at years 3 and 6). Indicative total spend is expected to be £27m over 8 years (around £3.375m / year). There are currently 4 Lots (Ready mixed concrete / Dry stone aggregates / Coated materials / Surface dressing aggregates). There is provision for the inclusion of supplier’s proprietary products and allowances for typical ancillary rates such as waiting times and mobilising facilities out of normal working hours. The procurement has traditionally been a multiple Lot and multiple supplier Framework. Consideration of the structure of Lots, number of suppliers and other aspects of the approach to this procurement will be given subject to responses to this EOI questionnaire We would be grateful if you could confirm if this opportunity would be of interest to your organisation. This is not a call for competition. The issuing of this EOI document and PIN notice does not commit Dorset Council to commence any related procurement process and nor will the Council be under any obligation to make changes to its proposals following responses received to this EOI. Please submit your response by uploading a completed document to the portal by no later than 14:00 on 29th June 2026.engagement29 Jun 2026scheduled
