| LOT-0000 | Recruitment services, Education and training services, Higher education services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Recruitment services (79600000); 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 79 | 6,026 | 4 median · 32.6 average (1,989 of 6,026 with a bid count) | 3.3 average (2,224 of 6,026 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 7 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 1,723 | 4 median · 62.6 average (556 of 1,723 with a bid count) | 5.7 average (660 of 1,723 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 490 | 4 median · 9.9 average (8 of 490 with a bid count) | 2.5 average (8 of 490 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.
