Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); 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 8532,3611 median · 22 average (18,617 of 32,361 with a bid count)1.8 average (20,046 of 32,361 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)9954 median · 18.3 average (27 of 995 with a bid count)1.9 average (27 of 995 with named award suppliers)2 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.

Indicative price outcome

£2,699,988 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £4,150,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
