What is being bought

The Trust has three medical trailers for which it requires ongoing maintenance services.

The Trust's high level requirements are periodic servicing (see below for further details) of the trailers, MOT tests, a responsive repairs service and a warranty covering repairs (including labour, travel and materials) with the exception of those caused by normal wear & tear, damage caused by the Trust and damage caused by patients.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Specialist vehicles (34114000); 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 342,9793 median · 24.8 average (1,107 of 2,979 with a bid count)3.7 average (1,221 of 2,979 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1743 median · 2.7 average (3 of 174 with a bid count)1 average (4 of 174 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.
