Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction work (45000000); 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 4517,1284 median · 30.3 average (5,651 of 17,128 with a bid count)3.8 average (6,245 of 17,128 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.

Competitive procurementNot published

Procurement method rationaleThis Contract has been awarded using the Direct Award Procedure laid out in the Schedule 4 of the Framework Alliance Contract for the Crown Commercial Services Framework CCS RM6088 (the "Framework"). The Framework has been issued pursuant to Regulation 33 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. JIC previously conducted a Mini Competition Procedure for the Contract under Lot 3.2 of the Framework in which it received three tender responses. Following the evaluation process, it was clear that it was not possible to award the Contract within its budgetary envelope and a decision was taken by JIC to abandon the procurement procedure. The Framework permits the use of its Direct Award Procedure if the Competitive Award Procedure does not produce any suitable responses from the Supplier Alliance Members invited to take part (para 1.1.5 in Sch 4 of the Framework Alliance Contract).
