What is being bought

Middlesbrough Council is seeking quotations to appoint a suitable consultant to create a 3D interactive 'walk through' of Steve Waller's Middlehaven model to allow users to experience an immersive virtual visit through the neighbourhood as was. The consultant will be required to bring to life the Middlehaven model utilising a range of digital visual and audio techniques to support the reimagining of the Old Town Hall (OTH) in Middlehaven. The Grade II asset is to be transformed into a high-quality office venue for the expanding Digital and Creative sector in Middlesbrough and the model will be used as a key engagement tool for the wider public. This invitation is to submit an inclusive fee to reflect the work required for delivering a high quality, immersive 'walk through' of the neighbourhood as was. The 3D digitalisation will create accessibility to the model and bring to life a period of the town's social and cultural history allowing users to take a digitally immersive walk back in time.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 32. The category anchor is Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment (32000000); 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 322,0364 median · 34.3 average (746 of 2,036 with a bid count)3.9 average (861 of 2,036 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.
