Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Railway-track maintenance services (50225000); 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 504,9474 median · 19.9 average (1,668 of 4,947 with a bid count)3.4 average (1,865 of 4,947 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer51 median · 3 average (5 of 5 with a bid count)1.4 average (5 of 5 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK8895 median · 68 average (257 of 889 with a bid count)7.4 average (316 of 889 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.
