| 1 | Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis, Market research services, Statistical services, Business and management consultancy services, Management-related services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis (71241000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 71 | 6,612 | 4 median · 31.6 average (2,389 of 6,612 with a bid count) | 4.2 average (2,656 of 6,612 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 1,482 | 4 median · 72.6 average (492 of 1,482 with a bid count) | 7.4 average (565 of 1,482 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 347 | 4 median · 4 average (2 of 347 with a bid count) | 1 average (2 of 347 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
