Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 14. The category anchor is Chemical and fertiliser minerals (14300000); 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.

More recently, the conflict involving Iran has led to rising fuel prices with further increases expected for some of the grounds maintenance products. \nAs a result of the increased prices a modification is required for an additional £250,000 to be added to the framework value to allow for the final year of the framework.",

  "description": "A further competition may be commissioned during the framework term for additional Grounds Maintenance Products. Any further mini-competition for competed goods will be run with all Contractors appointed to the framework irrespective of the Lot they are awarded. (Unless otherwise excluded through poor performance). Once awarded the Competed Goods shall form part of the Standard Goods which the successful Framework Provider is eligible to provide under the terms of this Framework Agreement for the duration of the Framework Agreement. Contract Monitoring: The Successful Contractor's performance. on this Framework will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see poor performance procedures as detailed within the Department of Finance, https://www.finance-ni.gov.uk/publications/sourcing-and-construction-toolkits-0 Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will. be escalated to senior management in EA for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and this Contract may be terminated. Any contractor in receipt of a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance will be required to declare this in future tender submissions for a period of three years from the date of issue of the Notice. It may also result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by the EA. Education Authority Northern Ireland (EA) are committed to the promotion of social inclusion and equal opportunities, as well as the responsible use and protection of natural resources and reducing our carbon footprint as key objectives in the Sustainable Development Strategy for Northern Ireland.
