Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Hospital services (85111000); 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 85 | 28,114 | 1 median · 23.9 average (15,571 of 28,114 with a bid count) | 1.8 average (16,880 of 28,114 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 29 | 1 median · 1.3 average (15 of 29 with a bid count) | 1 average (15 of 29 with named award suppliers) | 2 comparable price pairs |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 596 | 1 median · 2.3 average (29 of 596 with a bid count) | 1 average (33 of 596 with named award suppliers) | 2 comparable price pairs |
“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.
Indicative price outcome
£98,307 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £151,103.
This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
