Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Dredgers (34513250); 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 342,0873 median · 20.6 average (647 of 2,087 with a bid count)3.5 average (711 of 2,087 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKL17434 median · 34 average (2 of 4 with a bid count)31 average (3 of 4 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1493 median · 2.7 average (3 of 149 with a bid count)1 average (4 of 149 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.
