Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Technical analysis or consultancy services (71621000); 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 7110,1165 median · 30 average (4,040 of 10,116 with a bid count)4.1 average (4,443 of 10,116 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.

It is proposed to commence work on this project on the 01 April 2024 up to submission of the Long-Term Plan to Government by the 01 August 2024. The consultancy will project manage the process up to the submission of the long-term Plan for Smethwick to Government. Sandwell will be the accountable body for the funding.  To access the £20m of funds, the council will need to produce a long-term investment and regeneration plan for Smethwick with the priorities of the Smethwick residents and businesses at the forefront of this vision over a ten-year period.  Engagement and consultation will be key to establishing a list of projects that meet the themes that can be delivered over the timescale of the funding.  A Town Board will also need to be created that is chaired by a local businessperson and involves a range of representation from community, business, public sector agencies, faith and cultural agencies as well as council member and local MP representation.",
