What is being bought

The London Borough of Croydon is preparing for the future re-procurement of its Highways Term Maintenance Contract, with a new contract anticipated to commence in April 2027. In advance of tendering, the Council is undertaking a structured market engagement exercise to inform its procurement strategy and contract design. Croydon continues to operate within a financially constrained environment following previous Section 114 notices and remains subject to oversight by the Government’s Improvement and Assurance Panel. Highways maintenance is, however, a statutory service and will continue to be funded through approved revenue and capital programmes. The future contract is expected to be procured as a zero-value contract in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations 2023, with works instructed through approved programmes. The Council has not yet determined the final delivery model, commercial structure, performance regime or procurement route. A range of potential approaches is under consideration, including contract packaging, NEC4 contract options, revenue maintenance pricing models, performance management arrangements, digital delivery requirements and sustainability and social value outcomes.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads (45233000); 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 4515,5594 median · 25.5 average (5,021 of 15,559 with a bid count)3.7 average (5,509 of 15,559 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.
