What is being bought

Currently, TCE maintains two separate storage contracts. Legal documents, including leases, licenses, and statutory declarations for our assets, are stored with one provider under a specific contract ending 6 July 2025. Meanwhile, our paper policy and correspondence files are stored with a different provider under a separate contract ending 19 October 2025. We now require a single contract with one supplier ('the Supplier') to provide all three services. This approach is expected to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Legal documentation and certification services (79130000); 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.
