Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 42. The category anchor is Pumps (42122000); 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 421,7514 median · 52.9 average (606 of 1,751 with a bid count)6.5 average (646 of 1,751 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK44117 median · 181.9 average (133 of 441 with a bid count)15.4 average (142 of 441 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1433 median · 4 average (5 of 143 with a bid count)1 average (5 of 143 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.
