Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Legal services (79100000); 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 7912,8804 median · 30.2 average (5,404 of 12,880 with a bid count)3.1 average (6,033 of 12,880 with named award suppliers)1 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.

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.

Tenderers must confirm that they will pay all staff that are involved in the delivery of services under the framework agreement, and/or any subsequent call off contract, at least the real Living Wage. Tenderers who fail to answer “Yes” to this question will not have their tender considered further.\n6. Question 4.C.4 of the SPD requests that Tenderers state whether they intend, or do not intend, to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in the ITT.\nIf Tenderers intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements, they should provide evidence in the SPD that they have the relevant supply chain management and tracking systems in place to ensure a resilient and sustainable supply chain. This will include confirmation that the Tenderer has the systems in place to pay subcontractors through the supply chain promptly and effectively, including evidence of:\na) their standard payment terms\nb) ≥95% of all supply chain invoices being paid on time (in accordance with the terms of contract) in the last financial year.\nIf the bidder is unable to confirm and evidence (b) they must provide an improvement plan, signed by their Director, which commits to improvements in the payment performance.\nAcceptable evidence includes but is not limited to:\n- Extract of the Tenderer’s terms & conditions detailing standard payment terms;\n- A summarised accounts payable report showing payment on time performance;\n- Payment Performance Statement Signed by External Auditor;\n- Credit Score/ Credit Report; or\n- An improvement plan, signed by a Director, which commits to improvements in payment performance. Improvement plan template and further evidence examples are held within the Supplier Journey.\nWhere a Tenderer does not intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in the ITT, they should clearly state this in response to Question 4.C.4.\nResponses to Question 4.C.4 will be evaluated as a “Pass” or “Fail”. Tenderers who do not achieve a “Pass” for this question will not be considered further.\nThe buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 22636.

Accordingly, while community benefit objectives will not be evaluated as part of the tender process, the successful contractor will be expected to consider the following Community Benefit themes in the delivery of their services.\nDetails of the Community Benefit themes can be found in the Invitation to Tender.\n(SC Ref:717000)",
