The General Medical Services (GMS) Team in Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) are looking for a digital solution that will at a minimum meet the needs of a General Practice (GP) triage solution that supports patient triage, appointment management, patient communication and business intelligence. The team are undertaking an information gathering exercise regarding what solutions are available in the market.

However, the information obtained during this investigatory stage will inform the decision making process. Following the deadline for RFI responses, DHCW reserve the right to make contact with any interested parties on an individual basis, to clarify or supplement their response.

Comparable-procurement analytics

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 setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 485,2121 median · 8.9 average (1,883 of 5,212 with a bid count)1.7 average (2,164 of 5,212 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.
