Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Software package and information systems (48000000); 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 484,4391 median · 9.3 average (1,534 of 4,439 with a bid count)1.7 average (1,771 of 4,439 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer0Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UK1,1561 median · 22.6 average (354 of 1,156 with a bid count)3.1 average (420 of 1,156 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)912 median · 2 average (1 of 91 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 91 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.
