Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Information technology services (72222300); 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 729,7672 median · 13.7 average (3,837 of 9,767 with a bid count)1.9 average (4,635 of 9,767 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer64 median · 4.3 average (4 of 6 with a bid count)1 average (5 of 6 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKM5392 median · 5.6 average (291 of 539 with a bid count)1.3 average (323 of 539 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.
