Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) for Approved Driving Instructor Solo Providers
Buyer: West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust →
What is being bought
The purpose of this procurement is to establish a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System Contract Agreement (“PDPS Contract Agreement”) under the Light-Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 – regulations 74 through 76, for the provision of Approved Driving Instructor Providers. It is anticipated that the Authority will appoint multiple Suppliers that meet the requirements of the Invitation to Tender and Specification for the provision in the PDPS. Suppliers can be added and/or removed throughout the lifetime of the PDPS, with no minimum or maximum number of suppliers. Those who have previously been successful in joining the PDPS do not need to re-apply annually.
Categories
Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 80 | 6,656 | 2 median · 47.9 average (3,113 of 6,656 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (3,415 of 6,656 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |

“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.
