| 1 | X-ray contrast media | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is X-ray contrast media (33696800); 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 33 | 2,085 | 2 median · 94.4 average (749 of 2,085 with a bid count) | 6.1 average (871 of 2,085 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 13 | 16 median · 16 average (1 of 13 with a bid count) | 1.8 average (4 of 13 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 518 | 16 median · 309.6 average (154 of 518 with a bid count) | 13.5 average (185 of 518 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 104 | 94 median · 148 average (5 of 104 with a bid count) | 25 average (5 of 104 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.
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.
