What is being bought

There is a need for an organisation with the capacity and expertise to manage a high volume of DBS applications within a short and critical timeframe. The service must provide an efficient, streamlined process supported by accurate, live data and effective reporting, enabling the University to monitor application progress, identify and resolve delays, and ensure applicants complete the required checks promptly. This will support customers in progressing onto their chosen course as efficiently as possible, while reducing administrative burden and improving the overall applicant experience.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Database systems (48610000); 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 482,5761 median · 6.1 average (785 of 2,576 with a bid count)1.5 average (851 of 2,576 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer0Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2323 median · 3 average (1 of 232 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 232 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.
