What is being bought

CCW wishes to appoint a market research agency to provide qualitative research services across three segments: Third Party Intermediaries (TPIs)1 Retailers2 Business customers. The overarching objective is to understand how well TPIs are working in the retail market and allow us to consider whether any further intervention or guidance is needed to improve the experience for customers.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 41. The category anchor is Drinking water (41110000); 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 41716 median · 126.6 average (15 of 71 with a bid count)5.6 average (18 of 71 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.
