Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Locks, keys and hinges (44520000); 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 444,2496 median · 38.8 average (1,668 of 4,249 with a bid count)5.9 average (1,813 of 4,249 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.

    "description": "Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is seeking market information regarding the phased procurement and installation of a new mechanical suited lock system across its estate.\nThe University currently operates two campuses (Mount Pleasant and City Campus) with approximately 37 buildings in total. One building (Redmonds) has an obsolete lock suite which must be replaced as the immediate priority.\nLJMU is conducting a pre-market engagement exercise to gauge the capabilities of the market for our requirement.  This is not a call for competition/ ITT. This process enables LJMU to fully understand the market to assist us in drafting our tender documentation / determining next steps.\nWhen returns to this RFI have been received LJMU may wish to contact companies who have responded to further explore the detail provided.\nPlease note we do not currently have a budget in place for this potential requirement, therefore we may discover as a result of this process that we are unable to proceed with a full procurement.\nLiverpool John Moores University does not consider itself a \"contracting authority\" for the purposes of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016, and the Procurement Act 2023.  Consequently, the university is not bound by the specific obligations of these regulations in relation to its procurement activities. Nevertheless, as a charity and an organisation in receipt of public funds, the university is committed to upholding principles of transparency, fairness, and value for money in its procurement processes.\nOur approach reflects our mission to foster academic excellence and efficiency in resource management, ensuring that our procurement practices support our educational objectives and benefit our stakeholders.",
