What is being bought

RSSB seeks to procure research consultancy support to help shape both the report itself and the underlying evidence base. The work is expected to be delivered in two linked workstreams: one focused on the structure, narrative and presentation of the report; and one focused on capturing, collating and organising data from across the rail sector.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research services (73110000); 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 731,3503 median · 33.9 average (333 of 1,350 with a bid count)3.1 average (373 of 1,350 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.
