What is being bought

The Authority has a developing requirement for a new framework to procure platform and innovation services. The intent of the framework is to provide a choice of Platforms that will meet the requirement of new and emerging use cases seeking to develop modelling and simulation applications. The Framework shall have an initial duration of 24 Months with an Option to extend for a further 12 Months. All Call Off Contracts may have a maximum duration of 5 Years. The Framework has an anticipated Contract Award date of June/July 2023. The competition shall follow the DSPCR 2011 competitive Negotiated procedure and shall consist of 2 LOTS. Potential bidders are invited to register their interest in receiving an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) to join the framework by first completing the associated Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. Suppliers may bid for one or both Lots and all bidders that meet the minimum criteria as outlined in the DPQQ shall be invited to participate in the ITN phase of the competition. The Authority cannot guarantee any quantity of work being put through the framework, but the framework may have an overall total limit of liability (for both LOTs) of up to a maximum of £100M for the initial 2-year duration. The Authority intends to conduct further mini-competitions where it is obvious that more than one platform could fulfil the use case platform requirement. The Authority may introduce further LOTS throughout the duration of the Framework. The Cyber Risk Profile for this requirement identified by the Cyber Risk Assessment is Moderate (Reference – RAR-220061707).

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 30. The category anchor is Computer platforms (30211300); 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 301,7234 median · 34.2 average (741 of 1,723 with a bid count)3.9 average (825 of 1,723 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.
