What is being bought

The provision of a community audiology service delivering age related hearing assessments and aids in community settings, covering the Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB footprint.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is ENT or audiologist services (85121240); 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	11,066	1 median · 39 average (4,576 of 11,066 with a bid count)	2 average (5,241 of 11,066 with named award suppliers)	10 comparable price pairs
Same buyer	105	1 median · 2.2 average (55 of 105 with a bid count)	1.1 average (55 of 105 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.
