Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Access covers (44423760); 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 441,7125 median · 45 average (414 of 1,712 with a bid count)6.1 average (461 of 1,712 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer2Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKM6421.5 median · 46.3 average (20 of 64 with a bid count)12 average (23 of 64 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1732 median · 3.7 average (3 of 173 with a bid count)1.7 average (3 of 173 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.
