Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Security services (79710000); 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.

  "description": "What we are doing:\nThe Network Rail Southern Region Stations teams have a requirement to engage external security testing companies to enter into a 5 year framework contract to deliver covert tests across seven of our managed stations within the Southern Region. \nThe contract will deliver tests at London Bridge, Waterloo, Charing Cross, Victoria, Clapham Junction, Canon Street, and Guildford Stations. (the contract may also incorporate St Pancras at a later stage and may be extended to retail units and platforms). This program is designed to test the quality of security searches at Network Rail managed stations and provide assurance that the security product we deliver at our stations is compliant with the National Rail Security Programme (NRSP). It will also highlight any potential weaknesses or trends that we can address proactively to better enhance our levels of security.\nThe contract will include placed bag tests, hidden bag tests, suspicious behavioural tests and penetration tests (accessing restricted areas).\nThe tests will be conducted on an independent and anonymous basis. The Supplier will comply with the BTP covert testing protocol and have been consulted with the DFT Covert testing team.\nThe tests are not designed to be conducted on any areas of the stations that the security checks are not carried out on. \nWhy we are doing this:\nThe testing will offer an impartial assurance assessment of our security regime within our stations and potentially identify any new areas of vulnerability and enable us to be able to upskill and take preventative measures, where applicable, to better deliver our security product.\nAt this stage, Network Rail is seeking to gain a better understanding of the Market for these works. If you have experience in delivering Security Assurance Testing as described above, please contact Kishan Rajapaksa at – Kishan.rajapaksa@networkrail.co.uk\nPlease respond by Midday Friday 6th January.
