| Item | Category | Quantity |

| 1 | Railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts (34600000); 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 34 | 2,087 | 3 median · 20.6 average (647 of 2,087 with a bid count) | 3.5 average (711 of 2,087 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 7 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKE3 | 20 | 1 median · 1.6 average (8 of 20 with a bid count) | 1 average (8 of 20 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 76 | 2 median · 2 average (2 of 76 with a bid count) | 1 average (2 of 76 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.
