What is being bought

North Tyneside Council has inherited the requirement of Autodesk - AutoCAD Architecture Engineering & Construction Collection Licenses from a previous strategic partner. The Authority requires AutoCAD as this is used to produce precise and detailed technical drawings. AutoCAD is an industry standard software package and is essential for the continued delivery of the Authority's design services. It is used daily by our in-house designers on the core design work as part of a chargeable service.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Software-related services (72260000); 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.

“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.

Procurement method rationaleNorth Tyneside Council requires the continued use of Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture Engineering & Construction Collection to produce precise technical drawings essential for our in-house design services. AutoCAD is an industry-standard software and vital to daily core design work, forming part of our chargeable service. Due to the urgency of the renewal and the specific technical requirements of existing infrastructure, the most compliant route was a direct award under the CCS Low Value Purchase System, in accordance with Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015. Informal quotes were sought from three suppliers for the standardised subscription service. Man and Machine Limited provided the most economically advantageous quote at £35,560.20 for 13 licenses over 12 months whilst the Authority reviews existing requirements and licenses. This direct award ensures continuity of critical design services, minimal disruption, and best value, ensuring compliance with procurement regulations.
