Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Construction consultancy services (71530000); 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 719,7345 median · 29.5 average (3,881 of 9,734 with a bid count)4.1 average (4,258 of 9,734 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer1Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKC23227 median · 8.9 average (16 of 22 with a bid count)2.5 average (17 of 22 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)39153 median · 53 average (2 of 391 with a bid count)12.5 average (2 of 391 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.
