Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is Cardiac surgery devices (33182300); 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 33 | 1,735 | 2 median · 109.2 average (569 of 1,735 with a bid count) | 6.4 average (661 of 1,735 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.
