Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 60. The category anchor is Air transport services (60400000); 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 60	10,385	10 median · 19.9 average (9,116 of 10,385 with a bid count)	1.3 average (9,209 of 10,385 with named award suppliers)	1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer	4	Not published	Not published	Not published
Delivery region: KE	2	14 median · 14 average (1 of 2 with a bid count)	1 average (1 of 2 with named award suppliers)	Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)	80	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.

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.
