Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Modular and portable buildings (44211100); 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 442,6006 median · 41.9 average (881 of 2,600 with a bid count)6.1 average (970 of 2,600 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK52120 median · 123.7 average (160 of 521 with a bid count)13.5 average (177 of 521 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1833 median · 6 average (3 of 183 with a bid count)1.3 average (3 of 183 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.
