Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Boundary boxes (44423720); 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 442,7966 median · 42.2 average (968 of 2,796 with a bid count)6.2 average (1,068 of 2,796 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK56318 median · 120 average (179 of 563 with a bid count)13.5 average (197 of 563 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)16493.5 median · 93.5 average (2 of 164 with a bid count)18.5 average (2 of 164 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.
