Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Hospital and related services (85110000); 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 8514,9181 median · 35.5 average (6,625 of 14,918 with a bid count)2.1 average (7,490 of 14,918 with named award suppliers)10 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.

This information was used to determine what evidence would be assessed to confirm alignment with the 5 key criteria \nFollowing publication of a PIN on 08 August 2025 inviting Expressions of Interest, the Relevant Authority assessed all responses and requested and provided evidence against the published 5 key Criteria and service specific criteria to evidence the identified most suitable provider's suitability. \nFollowing assessment, review, recommendation for Award Decision, and an Award Decision was requested and received through the following NENC ICB governance process:\n Sunderland Place Subcommittee - 03 October 2025\n South Tyneside Alliance Committee - 09 October 2025 \nContracting & Procurement Subcommittee - 08 October 2025\nNENC ICB Executive Committee 14 October 2025 \nConflicts of interests were managed throughout the process. Potential conflicts of interests identified among potential project team members were assessed by non conflicted members. Individuals who identified a potential perceived conflict of interest were not given access to project documents or included in project discussions until it was confirmed they did not have a conflict.\n All governance committee meetings were briefed on the potential for conflicts of interests and conflicts with committee and board members were managed with any identified potential/perceived conflicted individuals not receiving copies of the MSP Outcome report and that member being asked to and agreeing to remove themselves from the meeting where the review and recommendation approval of the MSP process Outcome and agreement of the identification of the Most Suitable Provider was completed.",

  "description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. \n Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 11:59:59 p.m. 28 October 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Written representations should be sent to NENC ICB at nencicb.procurement@nhs.net. \nService requirements were measured and assessed against the 5 Key Criteria of the PSR 2023 and with the rationale being the focus on providing an integrated model that meets new requirements. \nThe Relevant Authority considered the service requirements, the relative importance of each of the PSR 2023 5 key criteria against the contracting arrangements, and what beneficial outcomes need to be achieved from the services. This information was used to determine what evidence would be assessed to confirm alignment with the 5 key criteria \nFollowing publication of a PIN on 08 August 2025 inviting Expressions of Interest, the Relevant Authority assessed all responses and requested and provided evidence against the published 5 key Criteria and service specific criteria to evidence the identified most suitable provider's suitability. \nFollowing assessment, review, recommendation for Award Decision, and an Award Decision was requested and received through the following NENC ICB governance process:\n Sunderland Place Subcommittee - 03 October 2025\n South Tyneside Alliance Committee - 09 October 2025 \nContracting & Procurement Subcommittee - 08 October 2025\nNENC ICB Executive Committee 14 October 2025 \nConflicts of interests were managed throughout the process. Potential conflicts of interests identified among potential project team members were assessed by non conflicted members. Individuals who identified a potential perceived conflict of interest were not given access to project documents or included in project discussions until it was confirmed they did not have a conflict.\n All governance committee meetings were briefed on the potential for conflicts of interests and conflicts with committee and board members were managed with any identified potential/perceived conflicted individuals not receiving copies of the MSP Outcome report and that member being asked to and agreeing to remove themselves from the meeting where the review and recommendation approval of the MSP process Outcome and agreement of the identification of the Most Suitable Provider was completed.",
