Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Communications system maintenance services (50334400); 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 505,0544 median · 20.9 average (1,738 of 5,054 with a bid count)3.3 average (1,942 of 5,054 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK9055 median · 73.7 average (266 of 905 with a bid count)7.4 average (327 of 905 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1543 median · 3 average (1 of 154 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 154 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.
