What is being bought

Published requirement description

The City invites Bidders to complete and submit a request to participate in the Procurement for the provision of a multidisciplinary consultant to provide a range of services in relation to the delivery of works across three sites: Small Estates, Sydenham Hill Estate and Longland Court on the Avondale Square Estate. Please refer to the brief for the full scope.

The estimated duration of the contract is 4.71 years.

The estimated contract value given at sections 31 and 32 is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore £42,462.85.

  • Not divided into lots: Due to their geographical spread, it is envisaged that the three projects will be delivered as separately tendered packages of work, but in order to accelerate the programme, they will be delivered concurrently. This is because the work is considered urgent due to the ongoing electrical compliance breach. There will also be an more…advantage to the Corporation of economies of scale, due to the shared consultancy services being provided.
  • How the procedure runs: This Competitive Flexible Procedure will be conducted in two (2) stages: • Stage 1 – Invitation to Participate (ITP) • Stage 2 – Invitation to Tender (ITT) The Invitation to Participate (ITP) will comprise of Suppliers being asked to meet the conditions of participation and respond to a technical question based on previous contract more…experience / contract examples. Following assessment of the responses, the City will notify suppliers in writing to confirm the outcome of the assessment and whether or not they have been successfully shortlisted to participate in the ITT stage of this procurement. The assessment will be undertaken in accordance with the methodology set out in the tender documents.

How the contest usually goes

Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested contracts only — direct awards report one bid by definition and are left out. Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Method and what to read with care
  • Two columns, no blending. The authority column walks its own record only: notices in the 4-digit class, then the 2-digit division, then all categories (36 months, per lot, contested only), and as a last resort its 24-month row across all categories (per notice, every route). The market column is the notice’s primary delivery ITL1 × the same class, then division (36 months). Nothing is filled from the UK-wide class; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable.
  • Per lot, contested only. Find a Tender publishes bid counts per lot; a seven-lot tender is seven contests. Procedures awarded without competition (limited / direct) are excluded from bids, price pairs and decision days — they report one bid by definition. Frameworks and DPS are a separate population from contracts (6–7 bids per lot against 2–4) and only the notice’s own kind is shown.
  • Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). Award-vs-estimate pairs need a lot estimate, one active award on the lot, one canonical supplier and a gap under 60 %; about 30 % of pairs are exact matches (the buyer published the award at the estimate). n is on every figure; below 3 the tile is muted, never hidden.
  • Pounds. The expected award applies the authority’s median movement (or the region’s, when the authority has fewer than 3 pairs) to this notice’s estimate; the middle half uses the region’s quartiles. A multi-lot notice publishes an envelope, so the movement is applied per lot, never to the total. A benchmark, not a recommended price.
  • “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
