What is being bought

Procurement Services are looking to create a local and national framework for the provision of Total Facilities Management This questionnaire is designed to understand supplier and customer experiences, challenges, and expectations regarding TFM frameworks. Your responses will help us design a framework that meets the needs of suppliers and customers to improve the procurement and delivery experience for TFM services across all areas within the Public Sector. Scope and Lot structure is still to be determined, but the aim to design a framework for the provision of all Total Facilities Management Services required within the Public Sector.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Landscaping work for sports grounds and recreational areas (45112720); 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 458,9204 median · 24.7 average (1,964 of 8,920 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,156 of 8,920 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.
