Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Residential nursing care services (85144100); 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.

| Market: CPV division 85 | 17,978 | 1 median · 30.8 average (8,438 of 17,978 with a bid count) | 2 average (9,399 of 17,978 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |

“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.
Indicative price outcome
£8,556,652 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £13,151,950.
This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.

"description": "This invitation to tender is from the London Borough of Camden (‘the Authority’) who are seeking to award a block contract for the provision of Nursing Block Contracts 2026\nThe London Borough of Camden is looking to award between 1 and 3 contracts for Nursing Care provision under a block contract arrangement. We would like to hear from innovative providers who deliver strengths-based, community-driven Nursing Care and are aligned with Camden’s commitment to resident-centred support. The Council is seeking opportunities to work with providers who will offer the highest quality care and support whilst remaining responsive to the changing needs of our residents at a time of unprecedented pressure for the Care Sector. Providers will be asked to evidence their commitment to Camden values and strategic priorities throughout the tender process.\nContracts will be awarded for a total of 60 months; including one 12 months extension. Providers must commit to a minimum of 10 Nursing beds during the 60 months contract period.\nThe Council recognises the current pressures within the care market and will welcome responses from providers who may need time to reach full bed capacity due to limitations in immediate availability. Camden is committed to working flexibly and collaboratively with providers to ensure high-quality care for our residents; therefore, state dates will be staggered from July 2026.\nThe maximum budget for these services is £13,151,950 over the 60 months contract including one 12 months extension. The guide price for this tender is £1,038.01 to £1,121.08 (excluding Funding Nursing Care (FNC) per bed per week.",
