Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Vehicle locks (34913500); 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 344,5603 median · 24 average (1,841 of 4,560 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,057 of 4,560 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer71 median · 1 average (1 of 7 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 7 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK1,0524 median · 58.9 average (374 of 1,052 with a bid count)5.5 average (435 of 1,052 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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe MPS on behalf of the Contracting Authority (MOPAC) abandon a previous procurement in relation to Vehicle Locksmith services due to some economic operators that were unable to access the procurement documentation via the Authority's procurement portal which became apparent only when the tender deadline reached. Since the abandonment of the procurement the Authority were considering its options for a re-procurement however the Authority required service continuation of vehicle locksmiths. Without service continuation the Authority would experience and be exposed to operational risk due the nature of the environment these services are required for. The Authority's requirement of vehicle locksmith and what it entails is of a specialist nature. The current and existing contract was extended until November 30th 2023. The MPS have yet to publish an ITT for a re-tender and therefore are enacting a negotiated procedure without publication with the current supplier. The MPS shall be relying on PCR Regulation 32(2)(c) whereby insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with. The award of contract via the negotiated procedure shall provide adequate time to the Authority to run a competition whilst safeguarding service delivery of vehicle locksmith services for the foreseeable future. The negotiated award of contract shall commence 1st December 2023. The Authority expects a replacement contract to be awarded 2024.
