| 1 | Immunoassay analysers, Services provided by medical laboratories | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Immunoassay analysers (38434580); 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 38 | 1,060 | 2 median · 10.7 average (355 of 1,060 with a bid count) | 3.1 average (402 of 1,060 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKL | 24 | 35 median · 46.7 average (6 of 24 with a bid count) | 13.3 average (6 of 24 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 72 | 4.5 median · 4.5 average (2 of 72 with a bid count) | 1 average (2 of 72 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.
