| 1 | Vocational secondary education services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Vocational secondary education services (80212000); 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 80 | 6,656 | 2 median · 47.9 average (3,113 of 6,656 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (3,415 of 6,656 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |

| Delivery region: UKK | 170 | 9 median · 1,261.4 average (47 of 170 with a bid count) | 8 average (49 of 170 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 133 | Not published | Not published | 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.
