Authority: Maiden Erlegh Trust (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Trust is seeking to appoint an experienced consultancy provider to deliver Strategic Estates, Asset Management and Capital Project Consultancy Services.
The successful supplier will act as the Trust's preferred consultancy partner, providing professional advice and support in the planning, development and delivery of estates strategies, asset management initiatives and capital projects across the Trust's portfolio of schools. The appointed supplier will work collaboratively with key stakeholders, including school leaders, Trust executives, estates personnel and other relevant parties, to ensure projects are delivered effectively, achieve value for money, and align with the Trust's strategic objectives.
Individual commissions may range from strategic advisory services, feasibility studies, condition surveys and asset management support through to the management and delivery of capital projects.
Services will be commissioned on a call-off basis as required by the Trust. The contract will be awarded for an initial period of three (3) years, during which the supplier will become the Trust's preferred provider for these services. The Trust reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to extend the contract for a further period of up to twelve (12) months, subject to satisfactory performance and ongoing business requirements, giving a maximum contract term of four (4) years.
- No preliminary market engagement: No Preliminary Market Engagement was undertaken as the requirement is well understood, the market is well established, and the Contracting Authority considers that a competitive tender process will achieve sufficient market engagement.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: Mandatory questions for the bidder to complete including pass/fail
- Price: Bidders will be required to where possible provide percentage of costs, RIBA stages and any additional costs that may occur including expenses
No conditions of participation were published on the notice; check the tender documents.
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- Turnover usually expected at this size: about £166,515 (twice the annual value).
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula. Turnover is an indicative market norm (≈2× annual value), not a published condition.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
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.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
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.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
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.
Half of these awards have an award date within 48 days of the bid deadline.
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.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

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.
