Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (71000000); 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 7110,1175 median · 30 average (4,040 of 10,117 with a bid count)4.1 average (4,443 of 10,117 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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe benefits of a direct award through the framework are.  Less downtime between identifying a need and fulfilling it  Reduction in administrative costs  Savings with economies of scale  Kirkham Board's prior knowledge and involvement with the scheme (at risk)  Value for money proposal, competitiveness, and additional social value from Kirkham Board Kirkham Board have accompanied this scheme for the last 10 months at risk, acquiring knowledge and experience of the scheme and its parameters. The working relationship with the development team is very good and Kirkham Board are valued as an EA and PD. If we changed he EA and PD at this stage there will be a substantial time impact and with the new consultant getting up to speed with the project which will jeopardise the potential delivery
Rationale classificationsThe works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
