Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Social work and related services (85300000); 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 8518,7511 median · 30.3 average (8,915 of 18,751 with a bid count)2 average (9,897 of 18,751 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UK9841 median · 40.6 average (371 of 984 with a bid count)4.3 average (446 of 984 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)791 median · 4.8 average (4 of 79 with a bid count)1.8 average (4 of 79 with named award suppliers)2 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

£10,149 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £15,600.

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.
