Comparable-procurement analytics

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.

“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

£1,939,774 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £2,981,517.

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.

The service focuses on maximising and sustaining choice and involvement using outcome-focused support plans and person-centred approaches that facilitate opportunities for people who are sensory impaired, to live fulfilled lives within a community setting.",
