Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Access platforms (34951000); 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 34 | 2,394 | 3 median · 22.9 average (819 of 2,394 with a bid count) | 3.4 average (904 of 2,394 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 57 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKI | 147 | 3 median · 13.8 average (37 of 147 with a bid count) | 2.8 average (44 of 147 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 184 | 6 median · 4.3 average (3 of 184 with a bid count) | 1.3 average (3 of 184 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.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.

"description": "London Underground APD Track is looking into the possibility to deliver 91m rail directly to Ruislip Depot from a supplier, instead of 18m rail sections being delivered from the supplier by road haulage and then welded at Ruislip into 91m rail, as part of the TfL Mayors Transport Strategy. The 91m rail would be continuously rolled at the supplier factory and then delivered by rail to Ruislip Depot using Network Rail (NR) wagons. The access platforms are necessary to change the business activity and to facilitate the delivery of long rails using NR wagons. They will facilitate safe access to the spreader beams placed in the rail support frames, which need to be removed for the process of unloading NR wagons.",
