What is being bought

Jisc is undertaking a refresh of its DNS infrastructure and seeks a solution that delivers a secure, scalable, and integrated experience for our members. This is an information gathering exercise for a DNS management solution. It is neither a selection nor tender exercise; no evaluation, or award will result from this process. Information supplied in this process will be used to support a decision on the most appropriate route to market/viable solution and potentially inform a future procurement process. Further information can be found in the RFI document available on our e-tendering portal.

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 723,5501 median · 8 average (1,118 of 3,550 with a bid count)1.7 average (1,274 of 3,550 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK1,1031 median · 11.1 average (315 of 1,103 with a bid count)2.4 average (376 of 1,103 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.
