| 1 | Driving simulators, Training simulators | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Driving simulators (34151000); 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 34 | 2,719 | 3 median · 25.5 average (987 of 2,719 with a bid count) | 3.7 average (1,086 of 2,719 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 9 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKG1 | 3 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 181 | 6 median · 10.7 average (3 of 181 with a bid count) | 2 average (3 of 181 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
