| Item | Category | Quantity |

| 1 | Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work (45200000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 45 | 10,182 | 4 median · 26.1 average (2,595 of 10,182 with a bid count) | 3.7 average (2,865 of 10,182 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 27 | 3 median · 3 average (1 of 27 with a bid count) | 7.3 average (4 of 27 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKI | 1,171 | 3 median · 18.9 average (324 of 1,171 with a bid count) | 3.9 average (344 of 1,171 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.

"description": "We are preparing to launch a significant programme of major capital projects as part of our AMP8/9 investment period. Our new Major Projects Framework aims to secure substantial delivery contracts, ensuring that each contractor awarded a place will have a project upon executing the Framework Agreement. Our focus is on reducing unnecessary bidding efforts and fostering long-term partnerships with trusted suppliers.\nWe seek experienced and innovative partners who align with our ambition to deliver these essential projects. Through this framework, we plan to award contracts for works, goods, and services needed for AMP8, with an option to extend into AMP9 based on delivery success. Subject to governance and procurement procedures, we aim to finalize agreements with selected partners by March 2026 to facilitate efficient project start-up.\nYour feedback is vital as we finalise our approach, and we look forward to working closely with the market to ensure the success of this programme.",
