What is being bought

The Museum is running a competition in line with the PCR 2015 for the provision of a suite of uniforms for approximately 700 front-of-house staff. The requirement is split into the following Lots: Lot 1 – Sou’ester coat and jacket , Lot 2 – Lab jacket and waistcoat, Lot 3 – Tops and accessories. Tenderers may bid for one or more lots.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 18. The category anchor is Clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories (18000000); 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 18	382	8 median · 63.6 average (127 of 382 with a bid count)	4.8 average (136 of 382 with named award suppliers)	Not published
Same buyer	0	Not published	Not published	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.
