Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Technical analysis or consultancy services (71621000); 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 716,4584 median · 31.3 average (2,300 of 6,458 with a bid count)4.2 average (2,560 of 6,458 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK1,4504 median · 71.9 average (478 of 1,450 with a bid count)7.2 average (549 of 1,450 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)29453 median · 53 average (2 of 294 with a bid count)12.5 average (2 of 294 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.
