St Ives Town Council (the Town Council) is looking to source quotations for its summer and winter planting for the 3-year period 2027-2029 in order to provide efficiency savings for both the Town Council and its chosen supplier.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 77. The category anchor is Horticultural services (77300000); 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 771,6105 median · 21.6 average (668 of 1,610 with a bid count)3.9 average (709 of 1,610 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer0Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKC9510.5 median · 56.8 average (22 of 95 with a bid count)5.3 average (23 of 95 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)934 median · 4 average (1 of 93 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 93 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“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.
