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 802,4713 median · 39.9 average (789 of 2,471 with a bid count)3.7 average (878 of 2,471 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2738 median · 7.7 average (9 of 273 with a bid count)1 average (10 of 273 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.

So Network Rail can understand the market for asset protection training services, market engagement via questionnaire is being invited to understand the number of suppliers active, their coverage nationally and their potential costs for budgeting. This will inform if Network Rail decides to proceed with a future procurement and as well as chosen routes to market. Please note, the exact dates for any procurement should one take place are estimated only at this stage and could vary to be either sooner or later subject to pipeline planning. Market engagement will be hosted on Network Rail's e-tendering platform Bravo. The event on Bravo can be accessed via this link - https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=61037 If you organisation is not yet registered for Bravo, it can be accessed here - https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.htmlengagement29 May 2026scheduled
