Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is Medical consumables (33140000); 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 331,7682 median · 106.1 average (589 of 1,768 with a bid count)6.3 average (684 of 1,768 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer3Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UK42814 median · 391.3 average (114 of 428 with a bid count)15.3 average (137 of 428 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)11620 median · 16.7 average (7 of 116 with a bid count)5.1 average (7 of 116 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.
