Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 65. The category anchor is Water demineralisation services (65121000); 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

“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.

Planning & early market engagement

BudgetValue not published
No-engagement rationaleA preliminary market engagement exercise was not undertaken as the requirement is well-defined, routine in nature, and the Health Board has a clear understanding of the market based on recent similar procurements. No issues were identified that required early supplier input, and the procurement route, specification, and budget were already confirmed by the Health Board. Undertaking PME would not have provided additional value or altered the scope or approach. A fully open and competitive tender process will ensure transparency, equal treatment, and adequate opportunity for all suppliers to participate.
