Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Training services (80500000); 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 801,6523 median · 59.3 average (369 of 1,652 with a bid count)4.5 average (393 of 1,652 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer164 median · 6.8 average (9 of 16 with a bid count)1.2 average (11 of 16 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK4362 median · 39.3 average (99 of 436 with a bid count)3.8 average (113 of 436 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2279 median · 8.3 average (6 of 227 with a bid count)1 average (7 of 227 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.
