Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Subscription services (79980000); 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 7913,7414 median · 30.9 average (5,804 of 13,741 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,508 of 13,741 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UK3,8144 median · 60.1 average (1,524 of 3,814 with a bid count)5.1 average (1,810 of 3,814 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.

Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleDefence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) CBRISS Commercial Team, which is part of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MOD), is intending to place a Contract with Clarivate Analytics (UK) Ltd for the subscription renewal of the Web of Science digital platform which provides a single destination to access reliable, integrated, multidisciplinary scientific research. This renewed subscription will be for 1 year. It is considered that this contract can be awarded using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for Technical Reasons. This is because competition is absent, as only Clarivate Analytics UK Ltd provide a digital platform that meets the UK MOD’s requirements. The UK MOD requires a digital platform that provides reliable, high quality, integrated, multidisciplinary research with curated content delivered alongside information on emerging trends, subject specific content and analysis tools, enabling users to pinpoint the most relevant research to inform our work. In addition, the UK MOD requires access to research information which only Clarivate Analytics can provide in a consolidated format, including unique research information such as: - Chinese Science Citation Database - Russian Science Citation Database - Derwent Innovations Index All of these requirements are provided through the subscription to the Web of Science digital platform and there isn’t a reasonable alternative platform provided by another supplier available in the market.
