Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Firefighting, rescue and safety equipment (35110000); 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 351,1063 median · 36.5 average (309 of 1,106 with a bid count)3.7 average (336 of 1,106 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer101.5 median · 3.7 average (10 of 10 with a bid count)1.3 average (10 of 10 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK4064 median · 76.9 average (118 of 406 with a bid count)5.8 average (136 of 406 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.
