What is being bought

Stage 1 - Conditions of Participation > Stage 2 - ITT (Tender) Responses (CPQ Responses) to this selection questionnaire (CPQ) will be used in the first step of selecting suitably qualified and experienced consultants (Participants) to be invited to tender. It is intended that the Client will shortlist a maximum of 5 Participants, to be invited to submit tenders / initial tenders in line with section 20(4)(a) of the Act. Those bidders will have met all requirements including the pass / fail questions and be in the top 5 after LiveWest have evaluated the scored submissions. Only these bidders will be shortlisted for stage 2 (ITT) In the event that Participants score within 1 point of the 5th highest scoring Participant, LiveWest Homes Limited reserves the right to shortlist all additional Participants who have passed all 'pass / fail' requirements and are within 1 mark of the 5th highest scoring Participant. In the event that LiveWest Homes Limited exercises this discretion, it will notify all Participants in writing of the number of Participants to be shortlisted.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (71000000); 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 713,3543 median · 31.7 average (842 of 3,354 with a bid count)3.7 average (937 of 3,354 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.
