Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 18. The category anchor is Clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories (18000000); 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 188917 median · 53.5 average (390 of 891 with a bid count)4.2 average (409 of 891 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.

Planning & early market engagement

BudgetValue not published
No-engagement rationaleThe Authority considered whether preliminary market engagement was necessary prior to commencing the procurement. Market engagement was not undertaken and a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice was not published because the requirement relates to the provision of standard, widely available workwear, PPE and hygiene supplies within a mature and competitive market. The Authority is satisfied that proceeding directly to the Conditions of Participation stage will not distort competition or disadvantage potential suppliers and that the procurement documents provide sufficient information for suppliers to participate on an equal basis.
