Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 77. The category anchor is Horticultural services (77300000); 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 772,2126 median · 22.1 average (976 of 2,212 with a bid count)4.1 average (1,036 of 2,212 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“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.

  "description": "The current GM 2021-24 framework provides HCC and other local Contracting Authorities with an option to call off a range of grounds maintenance works.\nThe new GM 2025-2030 framework proposed adapts the existing framework structure, using geographical lot areas as well as distinct lots for works required.\nWorks required will vary by the nature of the sites, and could suit a variety of contractors; see indicative tasks:\nStandard sites: maintenance of flower beds, borders, hedges, shrubs, grass cutting, removal of leaves and litter, and weed control.\nStandard + Sports Facilities sites: as per above, also including large field works, line drawing for sports areas, and setup and maintenance of sports equipment.\nThe proposed lot structure is as follows:\nLot 1: Standard - West (including South Central, the New Forest, and Test Valley)\nLot 2: Standard - Central (including Winchester, Basingstoke and Deane, North East and Hart)\nLot 3: Standard - East (including East Hampshire, South East Hampshire)\nLot 4: Standard - covering all areas (successful contractors in Lots 1, 2, and 3 will automatically be included in Lot 4)\n\tLot 5: Standard + Sports - West (including the New Forest and Test Valley)\n\tLot 6: Standard + Sports - Central (including Southampton, Winchester, \tand Basingstoke and Deane)\nLot 7: Standard + Sports - East (including South East Hampshire, East Hampshire, North East and Hart)\nLot 8: Standard + Sports - covering all areas (successful contractors in Lots 5, 6, and 7 will automatically be included in Lot 8)\nContractors will be able to bid for any number of lots, but will only be awarded a maximum of 2 geographical lots and corresponding all-Hampshire lot (constituting matching area lots in each lot category, i.e., Lot 1: West, and Lot 5: West).\nContractors will not be able to bid for Lots 4 or 8; winners of lots 1-3 or 5-7 respectively will be appointed to these lots automatically. This will allow flexibility to cover a range of works and work areas over the duration of the framework.",
