Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); 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 804,2372 median · 32.4 average (1,884 of 4,237 with a bid count)3.1 average (2,045 of 4,237 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer5414.5 median · 414.5 average (2 of 5 with a bid count)9.5 average (2 of 5 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKH14491 median · 7.8 average (37 of 49 with a bid count)1.3 average (37 of 49 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.
