Support is to be split into four Lots: Lot 1: General business support Lot 2: Green business support Lot 3: Start up support Lot 4: Job creation and safeguarding support These lots will support DCC and it’s local authority partners to meet the aims of SPF and achieve specific SPF outputs and outcomes. Any bidders that exceed the amounts stated within the tender documents will not be taken forward to further evaluation and will be rejected for the lot (s) in which the requirement was not met, unless all bids do not meet these requirements. Bids must also confirm a commitment to provide at least the minimum quantity of outputs and outcomes outlined in column B of the pricing schedule document in respect of each description for each lot. Any Bid that does not meet these minimum requirements will not be taken forward to further evaluation and will be rejected for the lot (s) in which the requirement was not met, unless all bids do not meet these requirements. If all bids fail to provide these commitments, all bids except those who do not allow for each district to obtain the correct share of outputs and outcomes they require for the overall budget they have allocated individually, will be evaluated.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security (79000000); 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 7913,7424 median · 30.9 average (5,804 of 13,742 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,510 of 13,742 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“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.
