What is being bought

It is the Authority's objective to provide public buildings that are constructed to good standards, fit for purpose and representing good value for money. The Framework Agreement will be used by the Asset Management service to deliver mechanical and electrical works, primarily at Schools and other Council buildings. The scope of the work includes direct engineering projects such as heating refurbishments, electrical rewires, installation of mechanical and electrical fittings and equipment. The majority of contracts let under the framework will be allocated to providers on a rotational basis. In instances where it is considered beneficial to conduct a direct award, the council reserves the right to do so in accordance with the published criteria set out within the invitation to tender documentation.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Building installation work (45300000); 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 4517,1274 median · 30.2 average (5,652 of 17,127 with a bid count)3.8 average (6,245 of 17,127 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.
