Lot 1

Feasibility Study Through discussions with Middlesbrough Football Club and Captain Cook Birthplace Trust there is an ambition to relocate the Captain Cook Museum to a new purpose-built facility within the grounds of Stewart Park. The museum would provide a world class, aspirational venue that brings to life the story of Captain Cook, the history of Middlesbrough Football Club and the wider story of Middlesbrough's growth from a small farming hamlet to an industrial powerhouse in the 19th Century through to modern day. The project will also look into the suitability of locating Teesside Archives at the venue.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security (79000000); 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 7913,7414 median · 30.9 average (5,803 of 13,741 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,508 of 13,741 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.
