What is being bought

These services are required to add anonymised data from mobile phones to VisitBritain's data suite. This timely and granular data will be a vital input to the Media Mix Model; an econometric analysis technique used to quantify the impact of Visit Britain’s marketing activity in driving tourism to the UK and identifying how this impact differs by region. A variety of methods allow mobility data providers to track the presence and movements of tourists via their mobile phones including via SDKs (software development kits) which are embedded in mobile apps, or via GPS and passive WiFi. Mobility data may be purchased from specialised agencies or from mobile network providers, both of whom are in scope for this tender.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Information technology services (72222300); 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 729,0971 median · 13.9 average (3,560 of 9,097 with a bid count)1.9 average (4,274 of 9,097 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.
