What is being bought

This is a compact but intensive course targeted at Environment Agency Geoscience staff who need to grasp the essential methods and concepts in borehole design, construction and management within a short time as part of a Continuous Professional Development programme. The main objectives are as follows: • To produce engaging and graphical training material that gives a fundamental understanding of borehole design, construction and management in different geological environments, including associated risk assessment • To produce and deliver a training course in a blended learning format. • To provide engaging post-course material that staff can use for self or group study. This could be in the form of workbooks/guided slide packs across real or hypothetical situations. The material will highlight how an understanding of the subsurface is critical to the successful completion of boreholes for varied purposes • To train staff in understanding drilling contracts, bills of quantities, economics of borehole design to aid their development and competence in this aspect of their regulatory role

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Technical training services (80531200); 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 803,7932 median · 32.2 average (1,582 of 3,793 with a bid count)3.2 average (1,722 of 3,793 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.
