What is being bought

The Council is undertaking a market engagement exercise to understand the range of e learning and learning management solutions currently available that could support our organisational learning, development, and statutory compliance requirements. Through this Request for Information, we are seeking insight into modern, user friendly solutions that provide a high quality learning experience and support the delivery, management, and monitoring of digital learning across the organisation. In particular, we are interested in systems that can host and support the development of digital learning content, track learner progress, and provide robust reporting and analytics to support workforce development and informed decision making.

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 483,9481 median · 6.5 average (1,334 of 3,948 with a bid count)1.6 average (1,539 of 3,948 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKE3182.5 median · 2.5 average (2 of 8 with a bid count)1 average (2 of 8 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.
