What is being bought

Cambridge City Council are seeking to appoint a consultant to provide post-contract cost consultancy and QS services for a programme of retrofit works to council homes. The programme target is to achieve minimum EPC C through the retrofit works where properties currently achieve EPC D or below. Approximately 551 properties are being put forward for the programme. Of these, around 370 properties are part of the DESNZ funded Warm Homes SHF (Social Housing Fund) Wave 3 programme, to be delivered in accordance with their agreed programme, targets and baseline KPIs. A reserve list is also included. The work will be delivered in phases using a street-by-street approach.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Building consultancy services (71315200); 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 7110,1215 median · 30 average (4,042 of 10,121 with a bid count)4.2 average (4,448 of 10,121 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.
