A.3.14 Call-Offs across Lot 1 will be arranged into 4 types, as follows
A.3.14.1 Type 1 - Large Value Call-Offs; These will be mini competitions as part of the PTU application programme where routes will be called-off by area over a five-year cycle.

A.3.14.2 Type 2 - Lower Value Call-Offs; These will be mini competitions for contracts that have been handed back, new requirements or for commercial public transport services which have been de-registered. They will have contract lengths that allow them to be aligned with the five-year Application cycle. These will be put out to market for a period of between 12 to 20 days based on complexity and time constraints. The Council reserves the right to change the length of this time for any reason See Document 4. PTU DPS Lot 1 Mini Competition – Tender ITT DRAFT
A.3.14.3 Type 3 – E-Auctions; There will also be the option for the Council to conduct reverse E-Auctions across Lot 1 at will, however the expectation is that this will be conducted across Lot 2 during the lifetime of this DPS. See Document 2. PTU DPS Lot 1 and 2 Mini Competition – E-Auctions DRAFT
A.3.14.4 Type 4 – Emergency Call-Offs; These will be mini competitions that will cover for termination of contracts or suppliers unable to cover contracts whether temporarily or permanently. These will be put out to market for a period of less than 10 days based on complexity of the requirement and time constraints. Suppliers in signing-up to this DPS must agree to this shortened timeframe in these instances.
A.3.15 All mini competitions in Lot 1 will be awarded on 100% price basis and subject to the Lot 1 Terms and Conditions and General Specification as stated in this ITT and as stated in the Mini Competition Documents.

These applications may be put out for a period of between 5-45 days based on complexity and time constraints. Please see Document 2. PTU DPS Lot 1 and 2 Mini Competition – E-Auctions DRAFT

How did awards compare with estimates?
i
Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.
Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
