Published requirement description

NHS Lanarkshire Health Board (“the Board”) invites suitably qualified and experienced contractors to tender for appointment to the NHSL329-26 Joinery Contractors Framework. The framework will support the Property & Support Services Division in delivering planned, reactive, routine and emergency joinery works across NHS Lanarkshire’s healthcare estate.

The framework will comprise three lots:

Lot 1: University Hospital Monklands, works below GBP 5,000 - Lot 1 covers planned, routine, reactive and emergency joinery works valued below GBP 5,000 at University Hospital Monklands. One contractor will be appointed and must provide a responsive service, including 24-hour, 365-day emergency cover, in accordance with the specified priority response times.

Lot 2: Community Sites, works below GBP 5,000 - Lot 2 covers planned, routine, reactive and emergency joinery works valued below GBP 5,000 across the NHS Lanarkshire community sites listed in Appendix A of the Specification. One contractor will be appointed and must provide a responsive service, including 24-hour, 365-day emergency cover and travel between sites where required.

Lot 3: Small Works valued between GBP 5,000 and GBP 50,000 - Lot 3 covers planned joinery works valued over GBP 5,000 and up to GBP 50,000. Between three and five contractors may be appointed, comprising Primary and Reserve Contractors. Requirements will normally be awarded through quotation or mini-competition, with the applicable award criteria and quality-to-price weighting confirmed for each requirement.

The framework will operate for an initial period of 24 months, with the option to extend for a further two 12-month periods. Contractors must provide a safe, reliable and responsive service that supports clinical operations.

  • Recurrence: A further procurement for the services is likely to be conducted following the initial framework term or periods of extension, if utilised.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Joinery Contractors Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

How the contest usually goes

Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.

Question for the bid
This buyerNHS Lanarkshire · all categories
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

How often small and medium firms win.

Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 1 of 2 known-size awards · market: CPV 4542 · UK-wide, n=20
1 of 280%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 1 of 1 known-location awards · market: CPV 4542 · UK-wide, n=20
1 of 180%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.

How long to a decision?
i

How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.

Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.

Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: no decision dates published · market: CPV 4542 · UK-wide, n=5
—76 days

Half of these awards have an award date within 76 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.

Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.

The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.

Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: exactly 0 of 2 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: CPV 4542 · UK-wide, n=11
0 of 218%

Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

How many bids did past lots attract?

i

How many bids past lots received.

Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

Past bids do not predict this tender.

Last 36 months.

How did awards compare with estimates?

i

Where winning prices landed against estimates.

Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.

On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.

Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

Last 36 months.

Not comparable on a framework or DPS: the price is set later, on each call-off.

On a framework or DPS the price is agreed on each call-off, so there is no award price to forecast here: the published figure is a ceiling.

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
