What is being bought

BACKGROUND Knutsford Town Council has secured permission from the Crown Estate to install a new active travel path linking Tabley Road to a new housing development. This project will support our aspirations to enhance active travel in Knutsford by creating a new walking and cycling link. ROUTE The path route is approximately 170m long, it will connect to Tabley Road and a footpath created on open space at the Tabley Park development . The path will be constructed on a field. There will be access from Tabley Road for construction. SPECIFICATION Our preference is for this path to match the paths created on the housing estate. The developers have provided the following diagram of these paths. • The path is to be 2m wide. • A post and thee rail fence is to be installed both sides of the path along the full length • A gate is to be installed at the Tabley Road end of the path, inset approx. 4m from the road We will also consider variant proposals for alternative surface finishes in addition to the above.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Paths and other metalled surfaces (45233160); 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.
