What is being bought

The Council has awarded a contract for the provision of its Public Analyst and Agriculture Analyst Services.Norfolk County Council Trading Standards Service allocates part of its budget to food and feeding stuff/ fertiliser sampling. This translates into approximately 150 food samples and 50 agriculture samples per annum. Most of the samples are taken as part of a planned programme, which consists of several specific surveys. This allows us to submit samples in batches where the analysis requirements are the same for each sample.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Food or feed contamination protection services (90721300); 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 907,3855 median · 18.1 average (3,195 of 7,385 with a bid count)3 average (3,446 of 7,385 with named award suppliers)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.
