Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Hardware (44316400); 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 442,2646 median · 42.8 average (709 of 2,264 with a bid count)6 average (787 of 2,264 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK45320 median · 131.6 average (125 of 453 with a bid count)13.3 average (139 of 453 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)14893.5 median · 93.5 average (2 of 148 with a bid count)18.5 average (2 of 148 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.
