What is being bought

The equipment will be used to support the construction, refurbishment, maintenance, and emergency restoration of overhead line networks. The tractors shall be capable of operating in varied terrain and weather conditions, including agricultural land, rough ground, forestry tracks, and remote access locations. The successful supplier will provide fully compliant, road-legal tractors where the tractor and winch are supplied, configured, and certified as one complete operational unit, together with all necessary ancillary equipment to enable safe and efficient pulling, tensioning, recovery, and material handling operations associated with overhead line works.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 16. The category anchor is Tractors (16700000); 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 162787.5 median · 36.4 average (116 of 278 with a bid count)6.3 average (126 of 278 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKC691 median · 91 average (1 of 6 with a bid count)9 average (1 of 6 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.
