Award criteria
Technical Quality Questions — Technical Quality Questions weighted at 95%
Social Value weighted at 5% (100%)
| Item | Category | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Research, testing and scientific technical simulator, Information systems, Systems and technical consultancy services, Systems analysis and programming services, System and support services, Computer audit and testing services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Research, testing and scientific technical simulator (38970000); 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 38 | 1,099 | 2 median · 10.5 average (375 of 1,099 with a bid count) | 3.1 average (424 of 1,099 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKD3 | 3 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 102 | 4 median · 4.7 average (3 of 102 with a bid count) | 1 average (3 of 102 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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
