Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Cleaning services (90910000); 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 904,8225 median · 19 average (1,889 of 4,822 with a bid count)3 average (2,020 of 4,822 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer5Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKN1054 median · 27.2 average (54 of 105 with a bid count)5 average (57 of 105 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)4215 median · 6.8 average (8 of 421 with a bid count)1.3 average (8 of 421 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.
