What is being bought

The City of London currently utilises a cloud-based system to produce specifications for construction/building works for its property portfolio, drawing on an extensive legislation and best practice content library. It is used by surveyors and engineers to ensure any works being undertaken for the City comply with the current legislation and best practice. Maintaining access to the latest standards and guidance is therefore essential. Over the next 5 years the City is undertaking a multi-million-pound programme of works across the City’s property portfolio. The City is therefore exploring sector solutions that can support specification delivery, keep the service fit for purpose, and ensure building works continue to comply with regulations and best practice.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Industry specific software package (48100000); 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

“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.
