What is being bought

This Framework agreement covers the transportation of in-house fleet forestry vehicles around Thetford Forest and occasionally further afield. This requires machinery of the correct specification to load and transport such heavy machinery. This includes full rear steer low loaders up to 65 tonne pay load and semi low-loaders up 45 tonne pay load which are required at short notice to transport Forestry England forest harvesting machinery to site.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 60. The category anchor is Hire of goods-transport vehicles with driver (60180000); 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 6015,3148 median · 20.1 average (13,610 of 15,314 with a bid count)1.3 average (13,747 of 15,314 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“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.
