Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); 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 | 38,373 | 1 median · 19.7 average (22,929 of 38,373 with a bid count) | 1.8 average (24,591 of 38,373 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 21 | 4 median · 109.2 average (18 of 21 with a bid count) | 4.6 average (19 of 21 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKI63 | 100 | 3 median · 42 average (66 of 100 with a bid count) | 6.6 average (67 of 100 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
No documents are published in the current source record.

The model allows for ‘face to face’ and telephone befriending with ‘face to face’ befriending being universally more popular. Whilst the service predominately supports those in their own home the service is also open to existing service users moving to live in local residential or nursing care homes.",
