Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Landscaping work (45112700); 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 458,9494 median · 24.6 average (1,977 of 8,949 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,171 of 8,949 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.

This market engagement exercise is for information-gathering purposes only and does not constitute a contract award, commitment to award, or an invitation to tender (ITT). The feedback received will help inform Stoke-on-Trent City Council's procurement approach, proposed lotting strategy and contractual arrangements. The Council is seeking to: * Understand the market's capacity and capability to deliver the requirements within each proposed lot. * Obtain feedback on whether the proposed lot structure is appropriate and commercially viable. * Identify any potential barriers, risks or opportunities associated with the proposed approach. * Identify innovative solutions, particularly in relation to resilience, predictive maintenance and data-driven approaches. Proposed Framework Structure The Council is considering establishing a multi-lot framework, with the proposed lots as follows: Lot 1 - Small General Works Works valued from £0 to £300,000. Lot 2 - Large General Works Works valued from £300,000 to £7 million. Lot 3 - Play Areas Design and build of play areas, including associated works. The Council is seeking feedback from providers on the proposed lot structure, including whether the proposed value bands and scope of each lot are appropriate and commercially viable from a market perspective, as well as any innovative approaches or solutions that could be considered within the proposed lot(s). Providers are invited to submit any comments, suggestions or recommendations that they consider relevant to the proposed framework structure. Please provide your feedback in a Word document and email it to landscape.design@stoke.gov.uk by 2nd September 2026. Next Steps Following completion of the market engagement exercise, Stoke-on-Trent City Council anticipates progressing to a formal Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the Landscape, Public Realm and Place Framework. The final procurement approach, lot structure and contractual arrangements will be subject to the outcome of the market engagement exercise and the Council's internal governance and approval processes.engagement2 Sept 2026scheduled
