Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Surveying services (71355000); 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 713,3573 median · 31.7 average (842 of 3,357 with a bid count)3.7 average (937 of 3,357 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKC2161 median · 32.3 average (53 of 216 with a bid count)4.7 average (57 of 216 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2626 median · 7 average (5 of 262 with a bid count)1.2 average (5 of 262 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.

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.
