Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Pipes and fittings (44163000); 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 441,7365 median · 44.2 average (428 of 1,736 with a bid count)6.1 average (476 of 1,736 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKD1432 median · 16.3 average (34 of 143 with a bid count)5.1 average (37 of 143 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)13283 median · 70.3 average (3 of 132 with a bid count)14.7 average (3 of 132 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.
