What is being bought

In support of the NHS England and Improvement Maternity Transformation Programme and the Children and Young People Programme, NHSX are initiating a Digital Child Health and Maternity Programme. This is to support the attainment of optimal outcomes for women, children and families, described in the NHS Long Term Plan and a number of reports including, Better Births, Ockenden review of maternity services at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and The best start for life: a vision for the 1,001 critical days. NHSX now wish to commence a baseline understanding of the market place and in advance of bringing together a coherent means for NHS providers to procure Digital Maternity Services to support NHS England and Improvement ambitions.The forthcoming RFI exercise in conjunction with an internal maturity assessment will help to shape the value of a future Digital Maternity Services Framework or similar.

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 (4,162 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,054 of 10,539 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer21 median · 1 average (1 of 2 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 2 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.
