Buyer: Royal Borough of Greenwich →
The existing development management system, Acolaid, has been used at the Royal Borough since 2006. Acolaid and its suppliers, Idox, have performed well in providing a comprehensive platform for key operations within DRES. However, Acolaid is now a legacy product in need of replacement. Acolaid is now only developed to meet changing statutory requirements. This has allowed the Royal Borough to continue delivering business as usual activities with relatively few issues. However, the absence of functional and user interface developments has meant that Acolaid now appears dated and lacking in the modern interfaces and functionality that are required in a corporate software platform. The supplier has expressed a desire for the Royal Borough to offboard from Acolaid due to the increasing burden of maintaining support for the platform. Support for Acolaid from Idox will not be in perpetuity. Acolaid is now incompatible with Azure Virtual Desktop, the council's chosen remote working solution. A workaround has been established to allow users to work remotely, however this is at a premium infrastructure cost and cannot be regarded as a long-term solution. The objective is to replace Acolaid with a new cloud hosted platform. The new system will provide services with a robust, modern, feature rich platform that can be scaled and adapted to meet the ever-evolving needs of the Royal Borough

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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 48 | 4,522 | 1 median · 9.1 average (1,574 of 4,522 with a bid count) | 1.7 average (1,817 of 4,522 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKC | 246 | 1 median · 3.3 average (91 of 246 with a bid count) | 1 average (109 of 246 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 380 | 3 median · 3 average (1 of 380 with a bid count) | 1 average (1 of 380 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
