What is being bought

The General Dental Council (GDC) is going out to tender, to appoint a supplier to provide Recruitment Advertising Services. The GDC conducts most of its recruitment through its in-house recruitment team. To support this we require a reliable recruitment advertising partner who offers pre-paid advertising services where the sole function is to post our job adverts on relevant recruitment advertising job boards. The successful supplier will support the GDC in advertising a range of roles across generalist and specialist platforms, ensuring we reach a broad and diverse talent pool. The appointed supplier will provide a cost-effective, responsive, and flexible service that aligns with our values and supports our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Advertising services (79341000); 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 796,1964 median · 32.5 average (2,070 of 6,196 with a bid count)3.3 average (2,323 of 6,196 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.
