| 1 | Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, Medical consumables | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (33000000); 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 33 | 2,112 | 2 median · 94 average (766 of 2,112 with a bid count) | 6.1 average (889 of 2,112 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKN | 168 | 1 median · 38 average (110 of 168 with a bid count) | 4.2 average (137 of 168 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 117 | 25 median · 194.7 average (3 of 117 with a bid count) | 6.3 average (3 of 117 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.
