What is being bought

The University is seeking to engage with the market through a Prior Market Consultation (PMC) to inform the potential future procurement of a Student Placement System. The University is publishing this PMC document to: a) Share information to inform the market of an impending procurement, such that they might make preparations for the tender when it is released. b) Gather information to develop the University's strategy. It is important to note that a PMC is not a call for competition/procurement exercise. Following PMC, the university may decide that a procurement is not the best solution to achieve its required outcomes. It is essential that any organisation participating in the PMC understands that a procurement opportunity is not guaranteed and that its participation is undertaken at its own risk and cost. Details are contained in the document attached and the University requires responses, utilising this form.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Educational software package (48190000); 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 483,5291 median · 6.1 average (1,170 of 3,529 with a bid count)1.5 average (1,342 of 3,529 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer101 median · 1 average (7 of 10 with a bid count)1 average (7 of 10 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.
