Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Hospital and related services (85110000); 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 85	38,373	1 median · 19.7 average (22,930 of 38,373 with a bid count)	1.8 average (24,592 of 38,373 with named award suppliers)	10 comparable price pairs
Same buyer	17	Not published	Not published	Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)	1,245	4 median · 15.5 average (32 of 1,245 with a bid count)	1.7 average (32 of 1,245 with named award suppliers)	4 comparable price pairs

“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.

Indicative price outcome

£2,083,545 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £3,202,500.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
