What is being bought

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council is conducting Pre‑Market Engagement (PME) for H817: The Supply and Erection of Access Equipment (Scaffold & Mobile Towers). Dudley MBC's Housing Maintenance Team require a contract to replace the existing provision upon its expiry in October 2026. The new procurement exercise will ensure the continued provision of safe and compliant working‑at‑height solutions to support the Housing Maintenance Team’s direct labour force in delivering essential repairs and maintenance across the Council’s housing stock. Responses are non‑binding and will not be used for selection or evaluation purposes. However they will inform the development of the specification, pricing schedule, contractual terms and overall procurement approach. All information will be treated confidentially and used solely to support the preparation of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) and other associated tender documentation. Supplier identities will not be disclosed to any external parties.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Scaffolding (44212310); 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 442,0466 median · 43.2 average (586 of 2,046 with a bid count)6.2 average (645 of 2,046 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.
