Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); 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

“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.

Our vision is to be dynamic, diverse and connected, serving Scotland now and in the future.\nScottish Government’s Public Procurement Strategy for Scotland: 2023 to 2028 (https://www.gov.scot/publications/public-procurement-strategy-scotland-2023-2028/) highlights the importance of building capability:\n“People are key. We must ensure the Procurement profession is developing individuals and teams. As well as attracting, developing and retaining new and existing procurement talent, leadership is essential.”\nWe continue to invest in building capability and skills for procurement and supply chain professionals to ensure that officials across Scottish Government and the public sector in Scotland have the necessary skills now and, in the future, so that public procurement spend is used in a business friendly, socially responsible and legally compliant manner to deliver real public value whilst balancing cost, quality and sustainability.\nDuring 2025 we are considering placing a training and development framework to provide Scottish Government and other public bodies in Scotland with tailored learning and development, grounded in the Scottish public procurement context, to build capability in the following areas.\nLot 2: Sustainable procurement\nPublic procurement skills specifically related to the Sustainable Procurement Duty and its associated tools and guidance under the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (and any subsequent legislation), with particular regard to improving procurement capability and embedding sustainability into procurement processes.
