What is being bought

Norfolk County Council conducted a competitive procurement to purchase two mobile libraries to replace ageing fleet in 2021. The contract was awarded to Nu-Track Ltd (contract award notice reference 2021/S 000-021840) to build two mobile libraires on chassis which were purchased by Nu-Track Ltd from TBF Thompson DAF Trucks Ltd, a division of TBF Thompson (Garvagh) Ltd. Nu-Track Ltd subsequently entered insolvency and were unable to complete the build of the two mobile libraries that were commissioned. The partially completed libraries were re-acquired by TBF Thompson (Garvagh) limited and Norfolk County Council have entered into a contract for the completion of the mobile libraries by T B F THOMPSON (GARVAGH) LIMITED as they hold legal title to the partly completed vans and therefore Norfolk County Council was not able to compete this requirement.

Norfolk County Council conducted a competitive procurement to purchase two mobile libraries to replace ageing fleet in 2021. The contract was awarded to Nu-Track Ltd (contract award notice reference 2021/S 000-021840) to build two mobile libraries on chassis which were purchased by Nu-Track Ltd from TBF Thompson DAF trucks, a division of TBF Thompson (Garvagh) Ltd. Nu-Track Ltd subsequently entered insolvency and were unable to complete the build of the two mobile libraries that were commissioned. The partially completed libraries were re-acquired by TBF Thompson (Garvagh) limited and Norfolk County Council has entered into a contract for the completion of the mobile libraries by T B F THOMPSON (GARVAGH) LIMITED as they hold legal title to the partly completed vans and therefore Norfolk County Council was not able to compete this requirement. Additional information: This is a notice under regulation 32(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) as the Council was unable to compete the procurement for the partially completed mobile libraries for technical reasons, those reasons being that the title of the vehicles belongs to TBF Thompson (Garvagh) Ltd and not Norfolk County Council, and the roadworthiness of the vehicles will need to be certified by TBF Thompson (Garvagh) Ltd before the purchase can be completed. Furthermore, due to global market forces, delays in the supply chain of vehicles and inflation, the price of purchasing new chassis would add approximately 20% to the original purchase value, and a further year to completion of the mobile libraries. This would therefore have added considerable delay and cost to the acquisition of new mobile libraries for use by the residents of Norfolk. Therefore, in order to not further delay the process and achieve the best value for money the Authority has awarded the contract for completion of the mobile libraries to the owner of the vehicles.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation (34000000); 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 344,5593 median · 24 average (1,841 of 4,559 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,056 of 4,559 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKN1723 median · 14 average (98 of 172 with a bid count)2.7 average (108 of 172 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.

Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe title of the partially completed mobile libraries belongs to TB F THOMPSON (GARVAGH) LIMITED and Norfolk County Council has entered into a contract for the completion of the mobile libraries with them as they hold legal title to the partly completed vans. Therefore Norfolk County Council is not able to compete this requirement. The roadworthiness of the vehicles will need to be certified by T B F THOMPSON (GARVAGH) LIMITED before the acquisition by Norfolk County Council can be completed.

        "description": "Norfolk County Council conducted a competitive procurement to purchase two mobile libraries to replace ageing fleet in 2021. The contract was awarded to Nu-Track Ltd (contract award notice reference 2021/S 000-021840) to build two mobile libraries on chassis which were purchased by Nu-Track Ltd from TBF Thompson DAF trucks, a division of TBF Thompson (Garvagh) Ltd.\nNu-Track Ltd have subsequently entered insolvency and have been unable to complete the build of the two mobile libraries that were commissioned.\nThe partially completed libraries have been re-acquired by  TBF Thompson (Garvagh) limited  and Norfolk County Council will enter into a contract for the completion of the mobile libraries by  T B F THOMPSON (GARVAGH) LIMITED as they hold legal title to the partly completed vans and therefore Norfolk County Council is not able to compete this requirement. Additional information: This is a notice under regulation 32(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) as the Council is unable to compete the procurement for the partially completed mobile libraries for technical reasons, those reasons being that the title of the vehicles belongs to TBF Thompson (Garvagh) Ltd and not Norfolk County Council, and the roadworthiness of the vehicles will need to be certified by TBF Thompson (Garvagh) Ltd before the purchase can be completed. \nFurthermore, due to global market forces, delays in the supply chain of vehicles and inflation, the price of purchasing new chassis would add approximately 20% to the original purchase value, and a further year to completion of the mobile libraries. This would therefore add considerable delay and cost to the acquisition of new mobile libraries for use by the residents of Norfolk. \nTherefore, in order to not further delay the process and achieve the best value for money the Authority is awarding the contract for completion of the mobile libraries to the owner of the vehicles."
