Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Counselling services (85312320); 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 8525,0841 median · 26 average (13,384 of 25,084 with a bid count)1.9 average (14,587 of 25,084 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs
Same buyer281 median · 2.7 average (9 of 28 with a bid count)1 average (9 of 28 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Delivery region: UKG311971 median · 6.6 average (139 of 197 with a bid count)2.8 average (143 of 197 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.

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.
