What is being bought

The service to be provided relates primarily to the Client’s local authority function in relation to its stock of approximately 78 highway structures but excluding the five river bridges referred to above. The stock consists of road-over-road bridges, road-over-rail bridges, pedestrian walkway-over-road bridges, pedestrian subways and a network of service subways. The Consultant should note that the network of service subways are defined as confined spaces and a permit to work procedure is operated. This is also the case for the disused pedestrian subways and public convenience in the Aldgate area, which are now sealed and accessed by manholes in most cases. The Client undertakes a 6-year rolling programme of structural inspection which consists of a General Inspection (GI) of each bridge every two years and a more detailed Principal Inspection (PI) every 6 years. A draft inspection programme for the contract period is included in Annex 4. Further information can be found inside of the tender documents -

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Structural engineering consultancy services (71312000); 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

“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.
