Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Software package and information systems (48000000); 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 485,2451 median · 8.9 average (1,895 of 5,245 with a bid count)1.7 average (2,177 of 5,245 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer9Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKD2731 median · 6.4 average (100 of 273 with a bid count)1.8 average (113 of 273 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)3773 median · 3 average (1 of 377 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 377 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.
