What is being bought

Our fleet is a vital resource in us delivering life's essential service to our customers, and so maintaining it successfully is crucial to keeping our frontline operation working. We believe there is an opportunity to improve the efficiency of our fleet and maximise the benefit to our operations, by introducing new innovations and ways of working across our fleet maintenance and management. We are keen to evaluate different fleet management models to ensure we implement the most efficient and beneficial solution, and priorities accountability across our fleet. Thames Water intends to award either individual Framework Agreements for Vehicle Maintenance, Plant Maintenance, and Short Term Vehicle Hire, or a single Framework Agreement for a Complete Fleet Management Service that combines all the individual aspects.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Motor vehicles (34100000); 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: UKI2465 median · 22.3 average (68 of 246 with a bid count)4.6 average (83 of 246 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.
