What is being bought

Network Rail and potentially its future GBR co-partners are seeking market feedback from suppliers capable of providing the manufacture, supply, inspection, testing and/or fitment of hydraulic and pneumatic hose assemblies used on fleet assets, rail vehicles, road rail vehicles, plant and on-track machines across Great Britain. This engagement is intended to help Network Rail understand current market capability, supplier geographical coverage, available service models, emergency response capability, and market views that may inform the final procurement strategy and tender requirements. It will also help validate that any future requirements remain proportionate and achievable. This exercise forms part of Network Rail pre-procurement activity and does not constitute a call for competition, commitment to procure, or guarantee of future opportunities

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Hoses (44165100); 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 441,7695 median · 43.1 average (442 of 1,769 with a bid count)6 average (492 of 1,769 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK36424 median · 132.6 average (76 of 364 with a bid count)13.8 average (87 of 364 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)12924 median · 45.3 average (3 of 129 with a bid count)11.7 average (3 of 129 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.
