Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Market and economic research; polling and statistics (79300000); 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 79 | 9,771 | 4 median · 32.6 average (3,928 of 9,771 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (4,394 of 9,771 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 87 | 3 median · 3.4 average (52 of 87 with a bid count) | 1 average (54 of 87 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 2,701 | 4 median · 64.4 average (1,036 of 2,701 with a bid count) | 5.1 average (1,219 of 2,701 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.
No documents are published in the current source record.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
