Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); 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 72 | 7,478 | 1 median · 15.1 average (2,856 of 7,478 with a bid count) | 1.9 average (3,403 of 7,478 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 25 | 1 median · 25 average (7 of 25 with a bid count) | 1.6 average (17 of 25 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 2,350 | 1 median · 31.9 average (794 of 2,350 with a bid count) | 2.8 average (1,016 of 2,350 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
No documents are published in the current source record.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.

The ASCE application is registered on the Defence Application Register as an MOD approved application. To transfer to 3rd party software, software support and training would create significant and unacceptable risk to Air Safety across multiple Aircraft Platforms resulting in a loss of airworthiness and a substantial and unacceptable reduction in the operability of all the affected aircraft platforms.",
