This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) for information only. It is not a formal invitation to tender. In the event of a publicly advertised tender being required, you will need to respond to the tender notice to be considered for this contract. The purpose of this PIN is to maximise transparency, act as a soft market test to understand numbers of potential bidders and increase competition for any potential upcoming tender notice, if it is to go ahead. All details in this PIN are subject to being updated or changed in the final tender notice, if required.<br/>If you are interested in any future procurement relating to this PIN, then please express your interest to this PIN via the Atamis portal.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Pharmacy services (85149000); 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 8538,3731 median · 19.7 average (22,930 of 38,373 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,592 of 38,373 with named award suppliers)10 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.

Indicative price outcome

£130,120 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £200,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
