What is being bought

The Council would like to hear from providers who can support with the potential approach to works for the resolution of a potentially blocked culvert. This requirement is of a particularly specialist nature due to this being under a live main line rail track. The scope of the works is subject to change; potentially the scope may only be for preliminary works to take place. However if through the scoping process, it is identified the culvert has collapsed or requires work other than what has been identified in this scope i.e. collapse, then works will need to immediately cease and to be reviewed. The Council is open to how this requirement may be delivered, and how providers may approach this work, especially given the potential risks and potential work required beyond the preliminaries. Interested providers are invited to take part in the soft market testing exercise and respond to the questionnaire available on the ProContract procurement portal. The deadline for responses is 12 noon 5th September 2025.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Culvert elements (44132000); 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 444,2496 median · 38.8 average (1,668 of 4,249 with a bid count)5.9 average (1,813 of 4,249 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1193 median · 3 average (1 of 119 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 119 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.
