Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); 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 8518,1861 median · 30.5 average (8,570 of 18,186 with a bid count)2 average (9,534 of 18,186 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs
Same buyer331 median · 1.9 average (17 of 33 with a bid count)1.5 average (17 of 33 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKJ41611 median · 3.7 average (79 of 161 with a bid count)2.8 average (86 of 161 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)7834 median · 15.2 average (33 of 783 with a bid count)1.8 average (33 of 783 with named award suppliers)4 comparable price pairs

“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.

Indicative price outcome

£1,789,149 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £2,750,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
