What is being bought

This specification outlines the requirements for a Probate Specialist to support the Council’s Empty Property Team in managing properties that are F Class Council Tax exempt due to probate, as well as other properties that are stuck in probate. The specialist will assist in verifying exemption eligibility, engaging with property owners or next of kin, and facilitating the resolution of probate related issues to bring properties back into use. This would be a concession contract; the data shared between parties will be used for helping bring back empty properties to use. The probate specialist will use the data to offer advice, separate to the council, and engaging with the owner to see what support can be offered. This partnership would seek to bring change to the borough through no cost to the council. For further information please see tender document pack.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Legal services (79100000); 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 7913,7404 median · 30.9 average (5,804 of 13,740 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,508 of 13,740 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.
