Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Topographical services (71351810); 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 718,2384 median · 29.2 average (3,130 of 8,238 with a bid count)4 average (3,453 of 8,238 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKC3726 median · 76.6 average (130 of 372 with a bid count)9.1 average (150 of 372 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)5116 median · 7.7 average (3 of 511 with a bid count)1.3 average (3 of 511 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.
