What is being bought

The LGA Annual Conference and Exhibition is the flagship event for the Local Government Association attracting approximately 2500 attendees including political leaders and chief executives from local councils as well as stakeholders from the private and third sectors. The event will be taking place at the Bournemouth International Centre from 7-9 July with set up on 5-6 July. We are looking for a professional agency to deliver production services for the event including the provision of stage sets and audio visual kit for the auditorium and five breakout rooms as well as the crew required to set up / breakdown and run the equipment (full details included in the specification). We also require a production manager to oversee the production onsite and a professional show caller.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Exhibition, fair and congress organisation services (79950000); 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

“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.
