What is being bought

West Dunbartonshire Council (the Council) has a requirement for temporary accommodation and void accommodation to be cleaned to a set of requirements as outlined in the below specification. The efficient and effective turnaround of temporary accommodation is business critical. Delays can impact on income and the provision of emergency and temporary accommodation to allow the Council to meet its statutory homeless duties.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Cleaning services (90910000); 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 904,9475 median · 18.8 average (1,956 of 4,947 with a bid count)3 average (2,092 of 4,947 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKM81143 median · 13 average (10 of 14 with a bid count)6.6 average (10 of 14 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.
