What is being bought

Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCHC) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to engage with the market ahead of a future procurement for general building and decorating services across a community healthcare estate in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. This RFI is being undertaken to help shape the structure and content of the tender documentation, including the most appropriate commercial model, the proposed lotting strategy, and the practical requirements for delivery in both occupied and unoccupied healthcare environments. This RFI is not a call for competition and does not form part of any formal evaluation. Responses will be used for market intelligence and planning purposes only. The procurement strategy will be finalised (i.e. Dynamic Market or Framework) following completion of PME.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Building fittings (44115000); 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 443,0495.5 median · 39.7 average (1,090 of 3,049 with a bid count)6 average (1,201 of 3,049 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2178 median · 8.6 average (5 of 217 with a bid count)3.2 average (5 of 217 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.

This RFI is not a call for competition and does not form part of any formal evaluation. Responses will be used for market intelligence and planning purposes only.\nTo take part in this pre-market engagement activity, please read the attached document for more information and complete the MSForm, which can be found here: https://forms.office.com/e/Y8hVb71tHr"
