What is being bought

To provide ongoing, robust measurement of bus passenger experience (gathered through market research surveys), which is objective and consistent across local authority or transport authority areas. This will enable Transport Focus to hold the bodies responsible for bus service provision to account, and constructively help drive improvements, based on what matters to passengers. The survey coverage will be primarily in England outside of London, but is also likely to include Scotland and Wales. Your Bus Journey is Transport Focus's new survey that will replace its predecessor the Bus Passenger Survey, which ran from 2009 to 2019 and in its final years gathered the responses from over 40,000 bus passengers.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research and development services and related consultancy services (73000000); 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 733,0453 median · 26.7 average (1,087 of 3,045 with a bid count)2.5 average (1,228 of 3,045 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer0Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UK1,3172 median · 45.3 average (458 of 1,317 with a bid count)3 average (528 of 1,317 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)14119.5 median · 19.5 average (2 of 141 with a bid count)3.5 average (2 of 141 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.
