Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Engineering works and construction works (45220000); 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 4510,2234 median · 25.9 average (2,615 of 10,223 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,885 of 10,223 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)5733.5 median · 28.3 average (4 of 573 with a bid count)6.8 average (4 of 573 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.

FORESTRY INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION & MAINETNANCE FRAMEWORK - SUPPLIER ENGAGEMENT DROP IN EVENTS Natural Resources Wales (NRW) requires this framework to appoint competent contractors to construct, maintain, repair, service, or upgrade physical structures and associated land within the Welsh Government Woodland Estate. These works enable safe and efficient timber harvesting operations. NRW wish to invite interested suppliers to the engagement sessions to discuss the framework opportunity, tender process, and future forest infrastructure work programmes. The events will be ‘drop in’ events, so there will be no set agenda. However, suppliers will be expected to register on arrival, and information on the framework will be provided. There will also be an opportunity for informal discussion with Business Wales and NRW Forest Civil Engineer representatives, and to learn of the assistance available. There will be 2 options: Tuesday 4 Aug 2026 from 10am to 4pm - Coed y Brenin Conference room, Coed y Brenin, Dolgellau, LL40 2HZ Wednesday 5th August from 10am to 4pm - NRW Resolven Office, Coed-y-Cymoedd, Resolven, SA11 4DR To attend this free event please complete the form and confirm which event you will be attending: https://ymgynghori.cyfoethnaturiol.cymru/procurement/nrw-forest-infrastructure-supplier-engagement/ https://ymgynghori.cyfoethnaturiol.cymru/procurement/copy-of-nrw-forest-infrastructure-supplier-engagem-1/ (if link does not work please copy and paste into your browser) **Please note - car parking at Coed Y Brenin will require to pay in the RingGo app, website or by calling RingGo on 020 3046 0010engagement5 Aug 2026scheduled
