What is being bought

Wigan Council is committed to creating safer, more resilient communities in line with the upcoming Martyn's Law, also known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. This legislation will require qualifying venues and public spaces to implement proportionate security measures, conduct risk assessments, and ensure staff are trained to respond effectively to potential threats. To support this, we are seeking a digital solution that can offer real-time communication and alerting capabilities. This pre-market engagement exercise aligns with our Progress with Unity strategy, a borough-wide movement to: - Create fair opportunities for all residents and businesses - Help towns and neighbourhoods flourish through safety, inclusion, and resilience We invite providers of innovative, user-friendly, and scalable digital platforms to express interest in helping us meet the requirements of Martyn's Law while advancing our mission to build a safer, more connected Wigan. Organisations expressing an interest will be required to satisfy a basic key requirement prior to being invited to present their proposals. This engagement is part of Wigan Council's market testing activity and will inform the development of future procurement requirements. The revised date scheduled for the demonstration will be held on Friday 5th September 2025. To express interest or request details of the basic key requirements, please contact Steve Baldwin (Steve.Baldwin@wigan.gov.uk) Together, let's protect our communities and lead the way in public safety innovation.

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 728,0381 median · 14.9 average (3,105 of 8,038 with a bid count)1.9 average (3,711 of 8,038 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKD3591 median · 12.7 average (29 of 59 with a bid count)2.4 average (31 of 59 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.
