Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Social work and related services (85300000); 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 8538,3731 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

“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

£8,506,589 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £13,075,000.

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.

However this may vary subject to confirmation of the NHSE SDF allocation annually, during the term of the contract.\nWhilst there are 2 lots tendered the ICB recognises that it is possible that both lots could potentially be awarded to a single Bidder. In those circumstances the ICB reserves the right to negotiate with the successful Bidder to vary the service to recognise any revised scale in service. It would not be anticipated that any related changes would be substantial in practice.",

In those circumstances the ICB reserves the right to negotiate with the successful Bidder to vary the service to recognise any revised scale in service. It would not be anticipated that any related changes would be substantial in practice.",
