Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Christmas tree lights (31522000); 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 311,2095 median · 78.1 average (300 of 1,209 with a bid count)6.4 average (352 of 1,209 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK31926.5 median · 270.5 average (76 of 319 with a bid count)16.1 average (90 of 319 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)383 median · 3 average (1 of 38 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 38 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.
