What is being bought

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Borough of Sutton (LEVI Partnership 9) previously issued an initial set of soft market engagement questions in October 2023 to inform the development of the LEVI Partnership 9 Project. Since that time, the LEVI Capital Scheme has progressed, and new guidance, considerations, and recommendations have been introduced for authorities developing LEVI-funded projects. To ensure the forthcoming procurement exercise reflects these updates and market developments, we are issuing a revised soft market engagement questionnaire prior to commencing the LEVI tendering process.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation (34000000); 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 341,5392 median · 14 average (385 of 1,539 with a bid count)3.2 average (428 of 1,539 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)12525 median · 29.3 average (3 of 125 with a bid count)9.3 average (3 of 125 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.
