What is being bought

The Authority is seeking to procure a new Clinical Trial Data Management Solution. The primary objective of this solution is to provide an accessible and cost-effective service that enables The Royal Marsden to collect and manage clinical research data in full compliance with relevant regulatory standards, while supporting the maintenance of UKCRC Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) accreditation. Further to pre-market engagement undertaken earlier this year, the Authority will now commence a three-stage competitive flexible procurement process. This process will consist of: 1. An initial supplier eligibility assessment; 2. A written stage, covering technical, commercial, and social value questions; and 3. A sandboxing exercise to assess shortlisted solutions in practice. Interested suppliers are invited to engage with this procurement via Atamis https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome Contract Reference: C388016. North West London Procurement Services (NWLPS) is a Collaborative Procurement Organisation. The Contracting Authority have instructed NWLPS to act as their procurement representative, therefore any communications during the tender process by NWLPS, are on behalf of the Contracting Authority. NWLPS is an agent on behalf of the Contracting Authority acting on its behalf solely to carry out the Procurement. All decisions regarding the Contract will be made by the Contracting Authority.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Database and operating software package (48600000); 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 486,8371 median · 9.6 average (2,488 of 6,837 with a bid count)1.8 average (2,928 of 6,837 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.
