Buyer: Shropshire Council →
Shropshire Council (the Authority) is seeking expressions of interest and market intelligence from suitably experienced and accredited organisations in connection with the procurement of utility infrastructure for Oswestry Innovation Park, an 18-hectare strategic employment site at Mile End, Oswestry, Shropshire. The Authority, supported by its technical advisors UCML, intends to appoint an Independent Connection Provider (ICP) or consortium to deliver on-site utility infrastructure comprising electricity, clean water and civil works. Telecommunications infrastructure will be procured separately to preserve open-market access for future occupiers. This notice is issued pursuant to Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023 to invite the market to participate in a structured pre-market engagement process ahead of a formal competitive procurement.

| 1 | Electricity, Transformers, Electricity distribution and control apparatus, Mains connections, Electricity supplies, Telecommunications network, Works related to water-distribution pipelines, Substation construction work, Transformer substation, Construction work for telephone lines, Electrical installation work, Water distribution and related services, Electricity distribution and related services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 09. The category anchor is Electricity (09310000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 09 | 1,345 | 3 median · 37.1 average (494 of 1,345 with a bid count) | 5.3 average (558 of 1,345 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKC | 59 | 3 median · 130.6 average (20 of 59 with a bid count) | 21 average (22 of 59 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 105 | Not published | Not published | 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.
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.
