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 482,6441 median · 6 average (814 of 2,644 with a bid count)1.5 average (885 of 2,644 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.

We are looking for a proven product that meets our requirements and can be implemented with minimal custom development.\nWe welcome details of your solution, including how it would meet the Council's requirements and any indicative costs.\nQ - Could you please confirm if this market engagement exercise is fully open to new suppliers\nA - I can confirm that this Prior Information Notice (PIN) has been published as a market engagement exercise and is open to all interested suppliers. We welcome responses from both existing and new suppliers who feel they can provide a solution that meets the Council's requirements.\nQ - is there a specific format you are looking information back in?\nA - A document covering the main points and questions outlined in the PIN notice would be sufficient. If there is any additional information you feel would be beneficial for us to consider, please feel free to include this as part of your response.\nQ - is the contract only for 3 months? And is the allocation budget for that 3-month period? \nA - The reference to a 3-month period should not be interpreted as the intended contract length. The dates included are required for the purposes of the PIN notice published on Sell2Wales. Likewise, the indicative budget is included for market engagement purposes only, as this is currently a fact-finding exercise.\nWe are gathering information from the market to help inform our requirements and procurement strategy, and therefore neither the contract term nor the final contract value has been determined."
