How this framework works

Published description of the framework
Each time an item is required by the Authority, the lowest priced Suppliers’ product will be chosen. If the item is not available, then the next lowest priced Supplier will be approached and so on. Where there are two or more items that are priced the same, by individual Suppliers, the Authority will purchase firstly from the Supplier that scored the highest overall (quality and price) marks in the tender.

How Hull City Council buys Road equipment (CPV 3492) — and who usually turns up
Hull City Council’s own published record, next to the Yorkshire and the Humber market for the same work. This notice is a framework or DPS, so only frameworks and DPS are compared. Whole-market view: Road equipment (CPV 3492) →
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 frameworks and DPS only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides). Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Coverage and what to read with care
- Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
- 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). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
- “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.
