Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Rehabilitation services (85312500); 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 | 38,371 | 1 median · 19.7 average (22,930 of 38,371 with a bid count) | 1.8 average (24,591 of 38,371 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 6 | 5.5 median · 9.8 average (4 of 6 with a bid count) | 1.3 average (4 of 6 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.

Or directly to Lynda.brookes@star-procurement.gov.uk\nThe decision makers related to this process are:\nSarah Smith Executive Director for Health and Social Care\nDuncan James Executive Director Resources\nThere were no declared conflicts of interest.\nThe relative importance of the key criteria is below\nKey Criteria 1. Quality and Innovation 30%\nKey Criteria 2. Value Pass/Fail\nKey Criteria 3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability 40%\nKey Criteria 4. Improving Access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice 30%\nKey Criteria 5. Social Value - Pass/Fail\nKey criteria 2 and 5 were evaluated on a pass fail basis. All provider needed to meet the budget requirements of the contract and social value is so fundamental to the authority that providers failing to offer sufficiently innovative, measurable and deliverable social value would not be considered.\nKey 3 was given a slightly higher weighting than the remaining 2 criteria to reflect the importance of Integration, collaboration and sustainability. Without this the service would not succeed.\nKey criteria 1 and 4 could only be achieved if the chosen provider could successfully deliver key criteria 3. They were considered equally important and so the remaining 60% was distributed evenly between them.\nThe chosen providers response to the Prior Invitation Notice (PIN) of intent to use most suitable provider process was reviewed by commissioners and met all the published criteria. As the incumbent provider already meeting key performance indicators within the existing contract there is the added confidence they will continue to innovate and deliver to the specification.",
