Comparable-procurement analytics

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 setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 798,2264 median · 34.7 average (3,130 of 8,226 with a bid count)3.2 average (3,525 of 8,226 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKC3703 median · 38.2 average (133 of 370 with a bid count)4.7 average (153 of 370 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)5097 median · 8.3 average (3 of 509 with a bid count)1 average (3 of 509 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.
