Lot details

Lot 1

Open Tender completed for an Enterprise Service Management (ESM) Solution. The Technical Requirement Document and Specification have been based on a review of the existing solution as well as, high-level and detailed requirements captured in workshops and meetings with internal business representatives and IT subject matter experts. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that the Authority is supported by the best technology in its day to day operations. The Solution must be intuitive and easy for both service providers and self-service users whilst enabling efficiencies and improvements through automation and integration. The Authority requires a customer-focused and commercially aware service management approach which will enhance the overall experience for all employees, enabling them to realise business outcomes with fewer IT-related or service limitations. The ESM Solution will have a rolling contract term with a minimum 5-year period, with the option to terminate the contract following a 2-year notice period. The earliest the 2-year notice period can be implemented is from year 3 and at any point after this time period. The 2-year notice period allows for procurement and implementation of a new Solution. Contract value is for definitive term of 5 years, from 12th August 2025 until 11th August 2030.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); 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.
