The scope of work may include, but not be limited to the following: - Hire of scaffolding materials - Design of scaffolding - Supply of scaffolding - Construction of scaffolding - Dismantling of scaffolding WCBC’s aim is to appoint suitably qualified and experienced contractors to provide a comprehensive scaffolding service across the entirety of Wrexham County Borough. Scaffolding will be procured for a variety of tasks including carrying out maintenance to residential buildings and blocks. It is likely that the focus of the Contract will be on the WCBC’s residential estate, although its commercial estate will likely be covered by the proposed contract. Currently WCBC is responsible for over 11,000 residential properties and over 300 commercial properties, including schools, corporate offices and libraries.

WCBC is undecided as to whether a Framework will be setup or a sole supply agreement. Any values provided relate to a 4 year estimate.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Scaffolding (44212310); 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 442,4205 median · 41.7 average (792 of 2,420 with a bid count)6 average (873 of 2,420 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.
