What is being bought

Medway Council is funded to deliver holiday activities and food provision over Easter, summer and Christmas school holidays every year. The provision will deliver physical and enriching activities, hot and nutritious meals at each session and links to support services to help children and families with health, wellbeing and financial support. The tender has been split into three distinct service areas, which in turn form three lots. Bidders can bid for one or more lots as outlined within the specification. Once the DPS is active, live requirements will be associated to one of the three subsequent lots and all eligible DPS members within the respective lot will be sent the mini-competition documents. As with all DPSs, there will be no cap on the maximum number of eligible members under the DPS.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 92. The category anchor is Recreational, cultural and sporting services (92000000); 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.
