Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Advisory and consultative engineering services (71318000); 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 716,8654 median · 31.5 average (2,518 of 6,865 with a bid count)4.2 average (2,792 of 6,865 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.

Framework agreementNot published

Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe contract is being awarded through and in compliance with the CCS Framework RM6187 (Lot 8) (the “CCS Framework”). As a result, there is no legal requirement to advertise the contract, as the framework has already been advertised. The contract has been awarded directly to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd under the CCS Framework, which permits a direct award. Ove Arup & Partners Ltd had previously provided services to Transport Scotland and ScotRail for the initial services in connection with the suburban fleet procurement exercise. Given their extensive knowledge and experience in supporting rolling stock procurements in the UK, their particular experience and understanding of the Scottish Rail Network and the regulatory framework within which ScotRail operates, and their familiarity with this project as a result of their initial work, it is considered that the direct award under the CCS Framework is permissible in these circumstances.

As a result, there is no legal requirement to advertise the contract, as the framework has already been advertised. The contract has been awarded directly to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd under the CCS Framework, which permits a direct award.\nOve Arup & Partners Ltd had previously provided services to Transport Scotland and ScotRail for the initial services in connection with the suburban fleet procurement exercise. Given their extensive knowledge and experience in supporting rolling stock procurements in the UK, their particular experience and understanding of the Scottish Rail Network and the regulatory framework within which ScotRail operates, and their familiarity with this project as a result of their initial work, it is considered that the direct award under the CCS Framework is permissible in these circumstances.",
