Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Legal services (79100000); 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 799,3814 median · 33 average (3,744 of 9,381 with a bid count)3.2 average (4,193 of 9,381 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer144 median · 27.7 average (9 of 14 with a bid count)4.7 average (9 of 14 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK2,6084 median · 66.2 average (997 of 2,608 with a bid count)5.1 average (1,174 of 2,608 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.
