Defra - Application Development and Maintenance Support Services Strategy
What is being bought
Provision of an holistic supply chain to provide capability and capacity to support the development of applications and Application Maintenance and Support (AMS) services from October 2022 through to 2030 covering the following elements: Provision of Application Maintenance and Support (AMS) services from 1st June 2023 for approximately 200 applications; Procurement of new ADMS frameworks to support Defra's Application Development pipeline for the next 8 years; Procurement of Resource Augmentation framework(s) to support internal software development teams with a flexible resourcing model; and Procurement of a new framework(s) for SME suppliers to be able to provide niche tools and skill sets.
Categories
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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 72 | 10,539 | 2 median · 15.4 average (4,162 of 10,539 with a bid count) | 2 average (5,054 of 10,539 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 27 | 1 median · 3.4 average (12 of 27 with a bid count) | 1.3 average (12 of 27 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.
