Categories
Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Floor coverings (44112200); 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 44 | 1,911 | 6 median · 41.8 average (514 of 1,911 with a bid count) | 6.1 average (571 of 1,911 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 4 | 64 median · 64 average (2 of 4 with a bid count) | 13.5 average (2 of 4 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 151 | 8 median · 10.5 average (4 of 151 with a bid count) | 3.8 average (4 of 151 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.
