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.

“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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleIn January 2011 Torbay Council entered into a Contract for an integrated payroll and human resources system. This Contract comprised of the purchase of a perpetual licence for the software and a seven year support agreement. This support agreement is due to expire in December 2021 and the incumbent supplier has exclusive rights to the software. As such, they are the only supplier able to support and provide updates and new releases for the system. The Council opted for the more costly option of a perpetual licence when this system was originally procured to enable ongoing use of the system and delay the need for any significant costs associated with the purchase of a new system. The system is fully embedded, meets the Council's current needs and is capable of being adapted to meet future needs. It would therefore not offer best value if the Council were to go out to tender for the purchase of a new system. Currently Torbay Council are in the process of procuring a Council-wide CRM IT system. It is anticipated that following award, it will take at least two years to implement this new system. With the demands of this large project, there is not the capacity within the IT department to develop the necessary documents required to procure a potential replacement HR & Payroll system. It is also estimated that it would take between two to three years to procure and implement a potential replacement HR & Payroll system, which means that the current support agreement needs to be extended for five years.
Rationale classificationsThe works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons, New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services and ordered in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
