Comparable-procurement analytics

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	4,218	1 median · 7.9 average (1,410 of 4,218 with a bid count)	1.7 average (1,628 of 4,218 with named award suppliers)	Not published
Same buyer	34	Not published	Not published	Not published
Delivery region: UK	1,330	1 median · 11.5 average (409 of 1,330 with a bid count)	2.6 average (504 of 1,330 with named award suppliers)	Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)	147	2 median · 11 average (3 of 147 with a bid count)	4 average (3 of 147 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.
