| Item | Category | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Electronic analytical balances, Electronic technical balances, Weighing machinery, Balances, Scales | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Electronic analytical balances (38311100); 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 | 2,034 | 2 median · 11 average (905 of 2,034 with a bid count) | 2.7 average (1,044 of 2,034 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 11 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 544 | 3 median · 30.6 average (181 of 544 with a bid count) | 5.6 average (229 of 544 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 172 | 2.5 median · 3.5 average (4 of 172 with a bid count) | 1 average (4 of 172 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.
