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
Market: CPV division 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,161 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,053 of 10,539 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.

The Authority has the right to request copies of financial accounts and insurance certificates which are not held electronically.\nIf the D&B Failure Risk Score is 50 or more, on 1st August 2023,  you will receive a pass for this assessment. If the D&B Failure Risk Score is less than 50 or no D&B Risk Failure score is available the Authority will contact the Tenderer and seek further information.\nThe Authority will then use this further information to assess the Tenderer’s level of failure risk. In the event that the Tenderer does not meet the financial criteria above and/or the level of failure risk after assessment of further information is considered to be too high, they may still be considered via some form of other assurance e.g. Parent Company Guarantee (providing parent has a failure risk score of 50 or more) or a performance bond. If this assessment identifies an unmanageable risk (i.e. it is unacceptable) the Tenderer will fail this assessment.\nSPD Statements 4B.5.1b and 4B.5.2: It is a requirement that tenderers hold or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract the types of insurance indicated below:\nPublic Liability Insurance in the sum of not less than 1,000,000 GBP, or such greater/other sum as may be agreed with the Framework Public Body; and;\nProfessional Indemnity Insurance in the sum of not less than 1,000,000 GBP, or such greater/other sum as may be agreed with the Framework Public Body; and;\nEmployer’s Liability Insurance in the sum of not less than 5,000,000 GBP or in accordance with any legal obligation for the time being in force."

        "description": "Scottish Procurement is the organisation tasked with procuring requirements on behalf of Scottish Public Sector Bodies. Scottish Procurement is considering establishing a collaborative arrangement for Cloud and/or Hosting services. Any such arrangement would build on the existing Cloud Services framework which is due to expire on 31 July 2023.\nThe structure and scope of the new arrangement is still being considered, but could include:\na) Public Cloud (including but not limited to access to Hyperscale Public Cloud)\nb) Private Cloud\nc) Community Cloud\nd) Hybrid Cloud\ne) Co-location\nf) Cloud Transition Services\nWhere Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Services (PaaS) are likely to be considered key requirements of any future Cloud Services arrangement, it is likely that Software as a Service (SaaS) would be out of scope, being delivered by other arrangements.\nThe attached Request for Information is aimed at collating views from potential market participants. The information gathered will be utilised in developing the Scottish public sector Cloud/Hosting Services procurement strategy and any subsequent national procurement arrangement. No single submission will define the national procurement arrangement in its entirety, but all responses will be used to inform the procurement strategy.\nSuppliers and other interested parties should read and complete the attached Request for Information document and return it to ICTServicesAndSoftwareTeam@gov.scot by 19 December 2022."
