Authority: LONDON LUTON AIRPORT OPERATIONS LIMITED
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLondon Luton Airport Operations Limited (“LLA”) is establishing a flexible framework to streamline the procurement and engagement of qualified, experienced professional service providers. The flexible framework will operate across multiple lots and will support the Airport in meeting its statutory and contractual obligations in the planning and delivery of maintenance and minor construction and infrastructure projects.
This flexible framework will provide an efficient and transparent mechanism through which LLA can access pre-qualified suppliers to compete for individual requirements (“Call-Off Competitions”) as and when they arise.
The flexible framework will remain open for the duration of its term, allowing new suppliers to apply for admission at any point, subject to satisfying the published selection criteria.

Consultative engineering and construction services (CPV 7131) in East of England — and who usually turns up
LONDON LUTON AIRPORT OPERATIONS LIMITED has too little published record in this market to describe on its own; the East of England market stands beside whatever it has. This notice is a framework or DPS, so only frameworks and DPS are compared. Whole-market view: Consultative engineering and construction services (CPV 7131) →
How the contest usually goes
Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested frameworks and DPS only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides). Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Coverage and what to read with care
- Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
- Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
- “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
