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 902,8714 median · 20.2 average (858 of 2,871 with a bid count)3.1 average (922 of 2,871 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer2Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKJ4353 median · 7.8 average (13 of 35 with a bid count)1.5 average (15 of 35 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2073 median · 3.8 average (5 of 207 with a bid count)1 average (5 of 207 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.
