Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 98. The category anchor is Services furnished by business, professional and specialist organisations (98110000); 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 983,7803 median · 53.5 average (1,396 of 3,780 with a bid count)3.4 average (1,550 of 3,780 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.

Procurement method rationaleCoram Trading Limited are the only agency nationally delivering Adoption Activity Days as they own the copy right for the service. Adoption Activity Days (AADs) are informal events with the emphasis on providing a fun day for children who need adoption, while bringing them together with approved adopters who have not yet found the right child for them. The first “adoption party” was held in London by the Adoption Resource Exchange in 1976. They subsequently “went out of fashion in the 1980s and no one is sure why” (Katherine Runswick-Cole, 2012) but were relaunched by Coram BAAF in England with four events attended by 170 children, and families found for 29 of them (17%).An evaluation by Dr Katherine Runswick-Cole at ESRC in 2012, led to Adoption Activity Days being used across the country and to DfE including them as a key part of its adoption agenda. This is now an established national service delivered by Coram Trading Limited.
