Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Services related to water pollution (90733000); 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.

“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.

Planning & early market engagement

BudgetValue not published
No-engagement rationaleThe Authority considered whether preliminary market engagement would add value to the development of this procurement. Having reviewed existing market intelligence, previous procurement activity, supplier performance information, and the maturity of the relevant market, the Authority concluded that it possesses sufficient information to design and conduct the procurement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Preliminary market engagement is therefore not considered necessary or proportionate in the circumstances.
