Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation (34000000); 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 344,5593 median · 24 average (1,842 of 4,559 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,057 of 4,559 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2636 median · 10.7 average (3 of 263 with a bid count)2 average (3 of 263 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.

The main aims of engagement include: gaining market insights, understanding best market practices and shaping the final statement of requirements.

The Authority is particularly interested in: • Market capability across the functional areas described below • Typical delivery models and integration approaches • Innovation opportunities and best practice • Time to implement (complexity, sequencing, dependencies) • Costs e.g. commercial models and pricing structures This activity will consist of 1 Phase Phase 1 – Receiving written feedback from Suppliers Suppliers to review PME documents and respond to the shared questions (Appendix 2 – Contact Centre Questionnaire) by 12PM (Midday) on 10th August 2026",
