Lot details

Lot 1

One e-rostering platform will enable NHS Wales to harmonise its rostering principles for substantive staff and temporary workforce. It will facilitate better use of the temporary workforce across NHS Wales organisations with the aim to reduce premium agency costs and provide safe patient care more cost effectively. The procurement of the rostering system will also provide improved reporting on acuity levels across NHS Wales and ensure Health Boards and Trusts meet their legislative duties in relation to the Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016. The scope of this project will include every Health Board and Trust across NHS Wales. The system has the ability to roster all staffing groups including Nursing, Medical and Dental, Allied Health Professionals, Ancillary and Administrative staff.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Software package and information systems (48000000); 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 486,8371 median · 9.6 average (2,487 of 6,837 with a bid count)1.8 average (2,927 of 6,837 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.
