What is being bought

Nexus are looking for a training provider to deliver NEC4 Contract management training. A supplier is required to deliver a certified structured NEC4 training programme comprising a minimum of eight in-person training sessions at Nexus locations across Tyne and Wear over an initial three-year contract period. The supplier will be expected to work collaboratively with Nexus to develop training content and delivery schedules that align with organisational requirements and support the continued development of staff involved in procurement, project management and contract administration activities. To enhance the knowledge, skills and capability of Nexus' Major Projects and Procurement teams through the delivery of NEC4 contract management training, enabling employees to effectively procure, administer and manage NEC4 contracts, support best practice project delivery, and ensure the successful management of future infrastructure and capital investment programmes. The aim of this project is to improve the NEC4 contract management capability of Nexus' Major Projects and Procurement teams through the provision of specialist training, creating a knowledgeable and competent workforce capable of effectively procuring, administering and managing NEC4 contracts. Nexus delivers a range of infrastructure, asset renewal and capital investment projects and is seeking to further develop internal capability in the use of NEC4 contracts. There is a requirement to provide structured, practical training that supports both project management and procurement professionals, ensuring a consistent understanding of NEC4 principles, responsibilities and best practice across the organisation. The training programme will support the following objectives: 1. Develop NEC4 contract management knowledge and competency across Nexus' Major Projects and Procurement teams. 2. Improve understanding of NEC4 contract principles, processes and responsibilities throughout the contract lifecycle. 3. Ensure employees are equipped to effectively procure, administer and manage NEC4 contracts. 4. Promote best practice in contract management, risk management and collaborative working. 5.

Support the successful delivery of Nexus' capital investment, infrastructure and major project programmes. 7. Establish a consistent approach to NEC4 contract management across the organisation. 8. Deliver a minimum of eight in-person training sessions over the contract term. This will enable Nexus to realise the following benefits: • Improved organisational understanding and application of NEC4 contracts. • Enhanced contract management and administration capabilities. • Increased confidence in managing contractual risk and change. • Greater consistency in procurement and project delivery practices. • Improved collaboration between project and procurement teams. • Better value for money through effective contract management. • Reduced contractual and commercial risk across Nexus projects.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Training services (80500000); 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 802,3763 median · 40.1 average (739 of 2,376 with a bid count)3.7 average (810 of 2,376 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2629 median · 8.3 average (6 of 262 with a bid count)1 average (7 of 262 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“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.
