| 1 | Software-related services, Software package and information systems | Not published |
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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 48 | 2,657 | 1 median · 6 average (817 of 2,657 with a bid count) | 1.5 average (889 of 2,657 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 2 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 699 | 1 median · 7.8 average (199 of 699 with a bid count) | 2.1 average (222 of 699 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 101 | Not published | Not published | 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.
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.
| Milestone | Type | Due | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suppliers are now invited to request an information pack from procurement@swast.nhs.uk and then voluntarily complete and return your relevant information. Supplier Information is to be submitted by midday Friday 24 October 2025. ***Note: Response deadline extended*** As part of pre-market engagement, SWAST may invite further clarification, including potentially accommodating some sample system demonstrations. Where appropriate, invitations are likely to be sent out to suppliers to carry out demonstrations between the period of 4th - 13th November 2025. Other Ambulance Trusts may become involved in this market engagement exercise, for example SWAST sharing and them reviewing information received and attending any demonstrations alongside SWAST to support their own requirements. | engagement | 24 Oct 2025 | scheduled |
