Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Distribution equipment (31213000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 31 | 2,218 | 5 median · 51.4 average (725 of 2,218 with a bid count) | 5.5 average (858 of 2,218 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 3 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 573 | 14 median · 158.8 average (173 of 573 with a bid count) | 12.3 average (197 of 573 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 111 | 1 median · 1 average (1 of 111 with a bid count) | 1 average (1 of 111 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.
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.
