How Ports of Jersey buys Passenger cars (CPV 3411): the notice lists a non-UK location
Ports of Jersey’s published record is shown without a UK market comparison because the notice lists a non-UK delivery location. Check the notice description and tender documents for the actual site. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Passenger cars (CPV 3411) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
No small-firm winners recorded among this authority’s published awards in this sample.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
The notice lists delivery in Jersey, so this procedure has no confirmed single UK region; the buyer’s figure reads its other awards, each against its own delivery region.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
No decision dates published to compare.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

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.

Ports of Jersey is undertaking early pre‑market engagement by way of a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence to inform a potential future procurement.
This engagement is exploratory and non‑binding and is not a call for competition nor part of a procurement process. No contract will be awarded as a result of this notice.
The RFI seeks supplier insight on proportionate, cost‑effective and right‑sized solutions suitable for a small operational airport environment, including alternative approaches and innovations.
Responses may be used to inform the scope, specification, commercial strategy and route to market for any future procurement exercise. Participation in this engagement will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process.
