Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Recruitment services (79600000); 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 7913,7404 median · 30.9 average (5,803 of 13,740 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,507 of 13,740 with named award suppliers)1 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.

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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe contract has been awarded through a call-off from the Scottish Government Digital Technology and Cyber Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which was established and is operated in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and advertised on the Public Contracts Scotland portal. In accordance with the regulations governing dynamic purchasing systems, contracts may be awarded following a further competition among suppliers admitted to the DPS for the relevant category. This contract was awarded following such a compliant process. As the DPS itself was subject to prior publication and ongoing competition, no separate contract notice is required for individual call-off contracts. The use of the procedure without prior publication is therefore lawful.
