Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Recruitment services (79600000); 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 795,9003 median · 31.8 average (1,924 of 5,900 with a bid count)3.2 average (2,155 of 5,900 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer0Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKJ3121.5 median · 24.7 average (90 of 312 with a bid count)2.7 average (98 of 312 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)4137 median · 13.3 average (6 of 413 with a bid count)2.5 average (6 of 413 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.

Risk detailsThe following potential risks have been identified which may impact the performance and delivery of the Framework and any resulting Contract. While the likelihood and extent of these risks cannot be determined at the commencement of the Contract, their occurrence may necessitate a contract modification in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the terms of the Framework. The identified risks include: • Changes to legislation, regulation, statutory guidance or other legal requirements during the term of the Contract. • Unforeseen changes to service delivery requirements, operational standards or compliance obligations. • Advancements or changes in technology, digital platforms, IT systems or related infrastructure. • Unanticipated increases in the Contracting Authority's budget, demand, workload or service requirements. • Exceptional external events or market conditions that materially affect the cost or delivery of the services, including but not limited to economic instability, significant inflation, public health emergencies, armed conflict or major geopolitical events. • Political or governmental changes that impact funding, priorities, service delivery or contractual obligations. • Unforeseen increases or decreases in property numbers, asset portfolios, staffing volumes or service volumes requiring support under the Framework. In the event that one or more of the above risks materializes and has a material impact on the delivery of the Contract, the Housing Association may consider a modification to the Framework or relevant Call-Off Contract. Any such modification will: • Be limited strictly to the extent necessary to address the impact of the relevant risk. • Represent a proportionate and reasonable response to the circumstances that have arisen. • Not result in an increase in the estimated contract value of more than 50% of the original Contract value. • Comply with all applicable requirements of the Procurement Act 2023 and associated regulations. • Be notified and published through the appropriate Contract Change Notice to satisfy the Housing Association's transparency obligations.
