Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); 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 8532,2431 median · 22.1 average (18,539 of 32,243 with a bid count)1.8 average (19,962 of 32,243 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)8341 median · 2.4 average (31 of 834 with a bid count)1 average (33 of 834 with named award suppliers)4 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

£162,650 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £250,000.

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.
