Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 30. The category anchor is Office machinery, equipment and supplies except computers, printers and furniture (30100000); 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

“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.

Digital Health Care Wales (DHCW) intends to conduct market engagement with providers who may interested in bidding for the GP Managed Print Service Contract. DHCW has not defined a "route to market" and therefore DHCW welcomes engagement from potential providers. The intention is for DHCW to conduct a market engagement presentation session, with providers who have noted an interest in this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, in mid June via a digital platform. This session will include an overview the requirements and initial thoughts on an evaluation methodology. Furthermore, individual sessions may be made available for the purpose of question and answer sessions, between providers and DHCW, in the days following the engagement session. Please confirm by the 15th June 2026 whether you require any materials in the medium of the Welsh Language. Furthermore, if you require a copy of the Preliminary Market Engagement Notice in Welsh, please let us know as this can be made available. Potential bidders should note that this engagement together with any other soft market sounding in relation to this proposed procurement, may not necessarily lead to a formal procurement and/or award of any contracts. Further, that any information provided by potential bidders during this engagement event, may be used by DHCW to help to scope the proposed procurement/services and may also be shared widely with other potential bidders/providers. Accordingly, potential bidders are advised not to share any confidential information and/or information they would not wish to be shared more widely. DHCW accepts no liability for any costs incurred by bidders as a result of attending the engagement event.engagement1 Jul 2026scheduled

        "description": "Digital Health Care Wales (DHCW) intends to conduct market engagement with providers who may interested in bidding for the GP Managed Print Service Contract. DHCW has not defined a \"route to market\" and therefore DHCW welcomes engagement from potential providers. \nThe intention is for DHCW to conduct a market engagement presentation session, with providers who have noted an interest in this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, in mid June via a digital platform. This session will include an overview the requirements and initial thoughts on an evaluation methodology. \nFurthermore, individual sessions may be made available for the purpose of question and answer sessions, between providers and DHCW, in the days following the engagement session.\nPlease confirm by the 15th June 2026 whether you require any materials in the medium of the Welsh Language. Furthermore, if you require a copy of the Preliminary Market Engagement Notice in Welsh, please let us know as this can be made available.\nPotential bidders should note that this engagement together with any other soft market sounding in relation to this proposed procurement, may not necessarily lead to a formal procurement and/or award of any contracts. Further, that any information provided by potential bidders during this engagement event, may be used by DHCW to help to scope the proposed procurement/services and may also be shared widely with other potential bidders/providers. Accordingly, potential bidders are advised not to share any confidential information and/or information they would not wish to be shared more widely. DHCW accepts no liability for any costs incurred by bidders as a result of attending the engagement event."
