What is being bought

The University of Hertfordshire is looking to appoint a Contractor to deliver an Assessment Centre Experience for up to 3200 second year students in 2021, and subject to funding, 2022. The purpose of the event is to mimic that of a typical graduate recruitment process, so that students can experience a workplace recruitment process involving interviews, presentations and group exercises. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation, the successful contractor must be capable of delivering both an in-person (live) event, and also an online (virtual) event.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Assessment centre services for recruitment (79635000); 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 7913,7414 median · 30.9 average (5,804 of 13,741 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,509 of 13,741 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“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.
