Renewal to enable continuation of services via a Direct Award -REG32 5(b)<br/><br/>The Contact Centre Strategy, transformation and change programme which underpins the NHSBSA customer contact strategy is key to the delivery of NHS critically funded services has resulted in a multi-faceted re-procurement, and programme management exercise which is a current priority for the NHSBSA.<br/>There are a number of interdependent parallel workstreams specifically relating to the phasing of procurements, contract renewals, extensions, third party upgrades to end of life systems, migration activities, de-coupling, implementing, and transitioning with additional interdependencies between applications and key systems which tie into the modernisation and change programme.

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 486,8361 median · 9.6 average (2,487 of 6,836 with a bid count)1.7 average (2,926 of 6,836 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer132 median · 2 average (4 of 13 with a bid count)1 average (4 of 13 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK1,8912 median · 22.7 average (611 of 1,891 with a bid count)3 average (731 of 1,891 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.
