What is being bought

HES is seeking a contractor to develop, programme and deliver a fully inclusive offer to local learning and community audiences, both onsite at Trinity House and as outreach in other venues. The successful supplier must be able to demonstrate significant experience of delivering high-quality, creative and engaging community learning programmes both on and inspired by heritage sites and collections, ideally with a maritime connection, which clearly evidences working with a diversity of learning audiences including schools, families, youth work, community programmes, adult learners and learners with additional support needs.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 75. The category anchor is Provision of services to the community (75200000); 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 759973 median · 52.9 average (264 of 997 with a bid count)3.5 average (323 of 997 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKM294 median · 13.5 average (13 of 29 with a bid count)3.7 average (13 of 29 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.

The overall aim of this assessment is to ensure, as far as possible, that any potential Supplier will not have financial difficulties that endanger their ability to perform the Contract. If financial information cannot be gained from that source Historic Environment Scotland will request that you provide full audited accounts for the last full financial year. If Suppliers cannot provide any of the assurances as detailed above, and it is determined by HES that your financial strength is not adequate, then your company may not pass the financial evaluation. If you can provide the assurances as detailed above, HES may explore these options with you before determining whether your company can be taken forward in this procurement exercise. Bank details may also be sought to support the above."
