Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Maintenance and repair of ticket-validation machinery (50317000); 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 set	Procedures	Reported bids per procedure	Named award suppliers	Price evidence
Market: CPV division 50	2,970	3 median · 24.6 average (713 of 2,970 with a bid count)	3.4 average (800 of 2,970 with named award suppliers)	Not published
Same buyer	3	Not published	Not published	Not published
Delivery region: UK	515	4 median · 114.4 average (96 of 515 with a bid count)	9.7 average (117 of 515 with named award suppliers)	Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)	306	48 median · 36.3 average (3 of 306 with a bid count)	11 average (3 of 306 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.
