What is being bought

Sheffield City Council is seeking to introduce an e-bike hire scheme into the city to provide an additional mode of sustainable and active transport to the residents and visitors to the city. The proposed scheme will provide all e-bikes to suit Sheffield's hilly topography. The e-bikes will be hired from designated parking locations (either marked bays or physical infrastructure such as racks or docks), to ensure efficient management of cycle hire parking and safety of pedestrians and other road users.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Bicycles (34430000); 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 342,0643 median · 21 average (633 of 2,064 with a bid count)3.5 average (697 of 2,064 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)14424 median · 21.7 average (3 of 144 with a bid count)5 average (3 of 144 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.
