What is being bought

Published requirement description

London Luton Airport Operations Limited (“LLA”) is establishing a flexible framework to streamline the procurement and engagement of qualified, experienced professional service providers. The flexible framework will operate across multiple lots and will support the Airport in meeting its statutory and contractual obligations in the planning and delivery of maintenance and minor construction and infrastructure projects.

This flexible framework will provide an efficient and transparent mechanism through which LLA can access pre-qualified suppliers to compete for individual requirements (“Call-Off Competitions”) as and when they arise.

The flexible framework will remain open for the duration of its term, allowing new suppliers to apply for admission at any point, subject to satisfying the published selection criteria.

How long to a decision?

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 4520 · East of England, n=5

Half of these awards have an award date within 154 days of the bid deadline.

How did awards compare with estimates?

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.

Where the award price may land.

The forecast uses similar awards and the buyer’s estimate. The band covers the middle half of likely prices.

—Priced at 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.
