Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Social work and related services (85300000); 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 8521,3011 median · 28.3 average (10,676 of 21,301 with a bid count)2 average (11,734 of 21,301 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UKM81381 median · 6.8 average (19 of 38 with a bid count)2.6 average (19 of 38 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)7183 median · 3.7 average (21 of 718 with a bid count)1.1 average (22 of 718 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“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.

Indicative price outcome

£455,420 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £700,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
