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 716,9414 median · 31.2 average (2,553 of 6,941 with a bid count)4.2 average (2,832 of 6,941 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 contract was awarded without prior publication in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, due to extreme urgency arising from unforeseen delays in the confirmation of Levelling Up Partnership programme requirements, which left the council with limited time to mobilise support. To meet strict delivery deadlines and avoid risking programme funding, the council appointed a supplier with prior experience delivering similar schemes for the authority, who was uniquely positioned to begin work immediately. The use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication is considered lawful as the urgency was unforeseeable, not caused by the authority, and no other supplier could meet the required timescales.
