Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Development consultancy services (73220000); 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 731,3213 median · 34.8 average (321 of 1,321 with a bid count)3.1 average (359 of 1,321 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK5452 median · 71.7 average (131 of 545 with a bid count)4.5 average (152 of 545 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1565 median · 5 average (5 of 156 with a bid count)1 average (5 of 156 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.
