What is being bought

The Charity Commission is currently in Year 1 of a 3-year Digital Transformation Programme (the "Futures Programme") and invites prospective suppliers to attend a Supplier Engagement session to provide an overview of the Futures Programme as a whole, the work underway and our intended outcomes for the programme as well as a Commercial update. The contract start and end dates included in this notice cover the remaining period of the programme - actual start and end dates will be determined by individual procurement exercises.

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 (2,488 of 6,836 with a bid count)1.7 average (2,927 of 6,836 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.
