What is being bought

The Gremista Landfill, Lerwick Phase 3 extension will primarily involve cut and fill earthworks, new haul roads, installing new surface water drainage ditches, pipework, manholes, and headwalls; placing a 500mm bentonite-enriched soil layer over the new landfill formation surface; followed by a 2mm HDPE welded geomembrane basal liner, protection geotextile, leachate collection pipework, and 500mm thick, clean aggregate drainage / protection layer. Capping works to the existing Phase 2 landfill area are also included and will comprise 1mm thick LLDPE welded geomembrane and restoration soils.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Site preparation work (45100000); 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 457,2143 median · 22.7 average (1,246 of 7,214 with a bid count)3.4 average (1,374 of 7,214 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer12 median · 2 average (1 of 1 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 1 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.
