Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Business analysis consultancy services (72221000); 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 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,161 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,053 of 10,539 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.

  "description": "The successful Contractor’s performance on this Contract will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see. Procurement Guidance Note 01/12 - Contract Management - Procedures and Principles). Contractors not delivering on contract. requirements is a serious matter.

If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory. levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their. performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional. misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and this Contract may be terminated. A central register. of such Notices for supplies and services contracts will be maintained and published on the CPD website. Any contractor in receipt of a. Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance will be required to declare this in future tender submissions for a period of three years from the. date of issue of the Notice. It may also result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by.
