What is being bought

British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI) operates a white fleet of light, specialist, heavy, and electric vehicles operating in remote environments (Falkland Islands and Ascension Island). In order to support the service and maintenance of these vehicles, BFSAI seeks suppliers to provide vehicle spare parts, oils, lubricants, ancillaries, and specialist tools. The fleet includes - but is not limited to - vehicles from manufactures: INEOS, Ford, KIA, Mercedes, Nissan (EV), Maxus (EV), Yutong and Writebus. BFSAI wishes to establish a catalogue-based agreement for the provision of OEM and approved non-OEM parts, oils, lubricants, ancillaries and specialist tools. Additionally, there is a requirement for support from Subject Matter Experts for support with diagnostics. Suppliers will need to comply with all UK, EU and Falkland Islands standards and package products in compliance with Defence Logistics Policy.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 09. The category anchor is Lubricating oils and lubricating agents (09211000); 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

“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.
