Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 60. The category anchor is Public road transport services (60112000); 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 6014,7228 median · 18.9 average (13,107 of 14,722 with a bid count)1.3 average (13,235 of 14,722 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.

The surface stations may be staffed by MEL or may be unstaffed. Details of the surface and sub surface and staffed and unstaffed stations will be provided in the Tender Documentation as an Appendix. \nMEL's new Train Station, Headbolt Lane which will be located north of the existing Kirkby Station, is due to open in 2023.

The Contractor must provide indicative pricing for Headbolt Lane based on these assumptions:\n• Station will be similar in size to our existing station Kirkby and the car park will be similar in size to Birkenhead North.\nMerseyrail operates a regular interval timetable and trains are every 15 (fifteen) minutes and 5 (five) minutes in the city centre. The timetable reduces at 19:00 hrs on most lines to every 30 (thirty) minutes. A reduced Sunday service operates.
