Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 39. The category anchor is Hospital linen (39518000); 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 392,7356 median · 49.7 average (1,269 of 2,735 with a bid count)5.7 average (1,377 of 2,735 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.

    "reviewDetails": "Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:\nThe authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection notification has previously been made)\napplied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement which notification will contain among other information,\na summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a\nminimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which\nthe authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement. The\nbringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into\nthe framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to\nan end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the\nsetting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the\nauthority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition\nof special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be\nawarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages. Economic operators are\nentitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification. The authority will respond within\n15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such request during the standstill period may not\nprevent the authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the standstill period. Economic operators should\napproach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:\nAn economic operator that suffers or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public\nContracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the\nCourt of Session.",

    "reviewDetails": "Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:\nThe authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection notification has previously been made)\napplied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement which notification will contain among other information,\na summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a\nminimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which\nthe authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement. The\nbringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into\nthe framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to\nan end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the\nsetting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the\nauthority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition\nof special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be\nawarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages. Economic operators are\nentitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification. The authority will respond within\n15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such request during the standstill period may not\nprevent the authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the standstill period. Economic operators should\napproach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:\nAn economic operator that suffers or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public\nContracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the\nCourt of Session.",

    "reviewDetails": "Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:\nThe authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection notification has previously been made)\napplied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement which notification will contain among other information,\na summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a\nminimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which\nthe authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement. The\nbringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into\nthe framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to\nan end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the\nsetting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the\nauthority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition\nof special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be\nawarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages. Economic operators are\nentitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification. The authority will respond within\n15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such request during the standstill period may not\nprevent the authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the standstill period. Economic operators should\napproach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:\nAn economic operator that suffers or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public\nContracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the\nCourt of Session.",
