What is being bought

A Framework has been awarded for the following landscape maintenance services at Inverness Campus. The site contains very high quality soft and hard landscaping features, including grassed areas, meadows, ponds, extensive tree planting, foot and cycle paths. Activities will cover Soft Landscaping; Hard Landscaping; Water Areas and Winter Maintenance Activities The Framework consists of two separate specifications to cover (1) The common areas of Inverness Campus, controlled by ICOA and (2) the HIE owned buildings within Inverness Campus, namely An Lochran, Aurora House and Solasta House. Despite the two specifications and pricing schedules, the contract will be delivered as one by the contractor. Since this is a Framework the actual spend will vary according to the services required, weather, growing conditions and the number and size of any additional plots brought into scope. The value in II.1.7 and V.2.4 is the estimated spend over 4 years, if the optional 1 year extension is taken up. The 3 year figure used for tender evaluation was GBP 649 255.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Snow-clearing services (90620000); 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

“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.
