Buyer: Manchester City Council →
Manchester City Council currently uses a geodemographic segmentation tool to support analysis, insight, and service planning across multiple departments, including Performance, Research & Intelligence (PRI), Public Health, and Communications. Segmentation data is used to: • Produce demographic and behavioural profiles for localities • Identify vulnerable or priority household types • Support targeted interventions, outreach and communication planning • Provide insight into groups that may be under‑represented in administrative datasets • Support work related to deprivation, cost‑of‑living impact analysis, inequalities, health needs assessments and digital inclusion • Inform strategic planning through ward‑level and locality‑level profiling The Council is exploring the market to understand current products, functionality, data quality, integration options and licensing models, to help shape future procurement activity.

| Item | Category | Quantity |

| 1 | IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support | Not published |
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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 72 | 7,676 | 1 median · 14.9 average (2,954 of 7,676 with a bid count) | 1.9 average (3,521 of 7,676 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 6 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKD33 | 14 | 3 median · 2.5 average (6 of 14 with a bid count) | 1 average (6 of 14 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 261 | 1 median · 1 average (4 of 261 with a bid count) | 1 average (4 of 261 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.
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.
