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.

“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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe Council considered Regulation 32 (2)b ii applied in so far that competition was absent for technical reasons. This decision was reached following a market engagement event with potential providers and their feedback in relation to the challenges of the pandemic recovery including driver shortages, fuel price increases and limited return of patronage. In addition the Council recognised the challenges of there being a limited number of transport providers within the rural areas of Suffolk and their ability to deliver a sustainable service meeting the communities needs and within the Council's budget profile whilst recovering from the pandemic. It was considered appropriate to implement 1 year contracts with the Council's existing Connecting Communities providers to enable the market to adapt and understand the new market conditions which would enable the Council to undertake a procurement exercise when the market is more stable and achieve better value for the communities of Suffolk.

In addition the Council recognised the challenges of there being a limited number of transport providers within the rural areas of Suffolk and their ability to deliver a sustainable service meeting the communities needs and within the Council's budget profile whilst recovering from the pandemic.\nIt was considered appropriate to implement 1 year contracts with the Council's existing Connecting Communities providers to enable the market to adapt and understand the new market conditions which would enable the Council to undertake a procurement exercise when the market is more stable and achieve better value for the communities of Suffolk.",
