What is being bought

The University of Exeter is undertaking a project to review and replace its current Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) system. The replacement platform must support a wide range of estate and facilities management functions and integrate seamlessly with our existing digital estate platforms. The aim of this early market engagement is to assess supplier capability, approach to integration, and user experience through realistic, user-centric workflows. We seek to engage with CAFM/IWMS solution providers to explore how their platforms can meet our strategic, operational, and integration requirements—not through standard module demonstrations, but via persona-driven, real-world scenarios.

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 483,0161 median · 6 average (970 of 3,016 with a bid count)1.5 average (1,086 of 3,016 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.
