What is being bought

Rutland County Council (the Council) is undertaking a soft market testing exercise to inform the development of a future procurement for a Mechanical and Electrical Systems Maintenance Contract. The purpose of this engagement is to allow interested organisations with appropriate experience to outline their views and ideas about the Council's proposed approach to Mechanical and Electrical Systems Maintenance. The Council will consider the responses received from this exercise to help inform the options appraisal and the decision-making process. Potential bidders will not be prejudiced by any response or failure to respond to the soft market testing. Potential bidders must also note that a response to this soft market testing exercise does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement exercise that the Council may conduct. Please note that this notice does not commit the Council to any future competition or award. Providers are invited to provide a response to the soft market questionnaire that can be accessed via the below link: https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d6afbc8f-294a-f111-813c-005056b64545&fromProjectDashboard=True The deadline for submission for the soft market testing is: 12 noon 4th June 2026.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 09. The category anchor is Hot water (09321000); 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 097273 median · 25.7 average (192 of 727 with a bid count)4.8 average (222 of 727 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer0Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKF222Not published1 average (1 of 2 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.
