What is being bought

The University of Portsmouth is currently assessing options for the potential procurement of an Agent Management Platform to support the management of agent relationships, contracts, commissions, performance and compliance activities. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is an exploratory exercise and does not form part of a formal procurement procedure. Participation in this PME does not create any obligation on the part of the University to initiate or proceed with a procurement process. Furthermore, a decision not to participate in this exercise will not preclude any supplier from being considered in future tendering opportunities. The primary objective is to gain a deeper understanding of the market landscape, possible solutions and their functionality, industry best practices, indicative pricing models, and social value opportunities.

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 483,1541 median · 5.9 average (1,034 of 3,154 with a bid count)1.5 average (1,159 of 3,154 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2513 median · 3 average (1 of 251 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 251 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.
