Coverage: 127 active published awards; 41 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleNGN have heavily invested in these bespoke systems since 2016. There are no off the shelf products that would fulfill NGN legal requirements and reporting obligations. Should NGN look to other suppliers to procure similar software then we would need to invest significantly to replicate the infrastructure already built. |
