Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction work (45000000); 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 458,4134 median · 25.3 average (1,730 of 8,413 with a bid count)3.6 average (1,908 of 8,413 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKC6502.5 median · 19.6 average (118 of 650 with a bid count)5 average (127 of 650 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)9977 median · 6.4 average (5 of 997 with a bid count)1 average (5 of 997 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.
