Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); 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 80 | 4,398 | 2 median · 32 average (1,972 of 4,398 with a bid count) | 3.1 average (2,139 of 4,398 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 83 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 1,687 | 1 median · 20.4 average (954 of 1,687 with a bid count) | 2.1 average (1,038 of 1,687 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 337 | 8 median · 8.1 average (7 of 337 with a bid count) | 1 average (8 of 337 with named award suppliers) | 1 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
