What is being bought

Liverpool City Council has a high-volume print and mailing facility to economically produce internal work for its customers. It also has a fleet of Multi Function Devices (MFDs) in use across the city, managed by the Document Solutions Service. The Council requires the implementation of a procurement framework for paper, envelopes and packaging so paper and envelopes can be bought efficiently and at an affordable cost.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 30. The category anchor is Paper stationery and other items (30199000); 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 305732 median · 8.5 average (190 of 573 with a bid count)2.8 average (208 of 573 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.
