Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Car park control equipment (34926000); 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 341,8093 median · 21.7 average (517 of 1,809 with a bid count)3.5 average (571 of 1,809 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer2Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UK3904 median · 73.6 average (95 of 390 with a bid count)7.1 average (109 of 390 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)723 median · 84.3 average (3 of 72 with a bid count)9.3 average (3 of 72 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.
