Lot details

Lot 1

The procurement covers the provision of pre‑construction services required to support the Water System Replacement Project for E and G Corners of the Main Building at Aston University. The existing water infrastructure presents significant operational and health and safety risks, including extended turnover times and an increased risk of legionella contamination, due to ageing and inefficient pipework.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Water plumbing work (45332200); 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 4511,9934 median · 25.8 average (3,407 of 11,993 with a bid count)3.8 average (3,751 of 11,993 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.

Procurement method rationaleThe contract has been awarded without prior publication because it is a call‑off from an established and compliant framework agreement, in accordance with Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015). The Pagabo National Framework for Mechanical and Electrical Solutions was itself advertised openly at EU/UK level and competitively tendered, with the Contract Award Notice published on the Find a Tender Service under Notice ID 2023/S 000‑027311. As the framework was lawfully procured under PCR 2015 through a fully compliant tender process, the University is legally permitted to award contracts under the framework without issuing a new call for competition. Regulation 33(5) PCR 2015 expressly permits contracting authorities to select a supplier and award a contract by running a further competition between framework suppliers, which is the procedure used for this award. A further‑competition mini‑competition was conducted with eligible framework suppliers in accordance with the rules of the Pagabo framework. The framework sets out all terms governing the procurement, including the scope of services, pricing mechanism, and call‑off procedures. The University has followed those procedures fully. Therefore, the award of this PCSA following a framework further‑competition is lawful and does not require a separate Contract Notice or prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union or the Find a Tender Service.
