Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Surveillance services (79714000); 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 7913,7404 median · 30.9 average (5,804 of 13,740 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,508 of 13,740 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.

Please detail your experience in carrying out this type of work in the past. 7. Please explain how you would ensure that the CCTV systems are kept live (even with sheep on site) requiring a way to prevent false alarms. 8. How quickly can your team respond to issues on site?

A breakdown of the costs is shown in the below table: Item Cost CCTV Monitoring and Maintenance for 3 sites over 5 years £75k Installation of a New CCTV System at Tangmere £40-£45k Installation of a New CCTV System at Halewick Lane (end of 2026) £40-£45k We are seeking responses to the below Pre-Market Engagement Questions from interested suppliers: 1. Would you be interested in bidding for the above contract? Would this opportunity be more commercially appealing to you if it was split into two lots or contracts, separating the installation of the new CCTV system from the ongoing monitoring and maintenance? 2. Regarding the new CCTV systems to be installed, WSCC would like the system to include thermal imaging to cover monitoring at night. Would this be possible? Have you installed this type of system in the past? 3. WSCC would like site access provision to be included as part of this contract rather than provided by a separate supplier, is this something you can offer? 4. Do you consider the estimated contract value above to be accurate? If not please explain why and provide alternative values? 5. Would you require site visits to price for this work? 6. Please detail your experience in carrying out this type of work in the past. 7. Please explain how you would ensure that the CCTV systems are kept live (even with sheep on site) requiring a way to prevent false alarms. 8. How quickly can your team respond to issues on site? Please submit you responses to Nana.Apawudza@westsussex.gov.uk by Friday 8th August 2025."
