Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research and development services and related consultancy services (73000000); 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 731,9363 median · 36.5 average (619 of 1,936 with a bid count)2.7 average (704 of 1,936 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer1Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKG602 median · 3.7 average (20 of 60 with a bid count)1 average (22 of 60 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2639 median · 9 average (1 of 263 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 263 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.
