What is being bought

The Royal Navy (RN) is interested in scoping industry options for semi-permanent (minimum 10 year lifetime) accommodation solutions. The RN is keen to understand if any industry providers could offer accommodation for 70 individuals, featuring single occupancy housing in a pre-fabricated building, containerised ‘pod’ solutions, or other novel options. Solution should be fitted with the necessary plumbing for running water, toilet & shower. Alternative solutions of communal areas will be considered. Solution would be facilitated at MoD Range in the Outer Hebrides, and thus must be robust enough to survive year round conditions. Solution must be capable of being heated- ideally via electricity although other alternatives would be considered. Options for transport to Outer Hebrides to support ongoing RN activity, as well as installation at Hebridean site.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Multi-dwelling buildings construction work (45211340); 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

“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.
