Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 77. The category anchor is Grounds maintenance services (77314000); 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 771,8005 median · 20.5 average (765 of 1,800 with a bid count)3.8 average (808 of 1,800 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1396.5 median · 8 average (4 of 139 with a bid count)2.3 average (4 of 139 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.

A Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (UK2) was prepared and submission was attempted via the publishing system; however, the notice could not be successfully published due to a technical issue.
