What is being bought

This Notice signals DBT’s intention to go to market to replace the current contract for the Global Supply Chains Intelligence Programme (GSCIP) Knowledge Graph which expires in March 2025 and is for Market Engagement purposes only. This notice contains a link to a confidential survey that DBT will use to gather information on your offerings. Your responses will help inform our specification of requirements. DBT leads a cross-government programme that combines both government (HMG), private sector and open-source data sets to build global supply chain understanding. At the heart of this programme is a ring-fenced graph style database stored in our own secure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

Lot details

Lot 1

GSCIP is a project led by DBT and currently supported by six other departments which has combined HMG, private sector and open-source data to build detailed global supply chain maps at commodity and company level using a knowledge graph, and graph data analysis and visualisation tools. Ahead of the next phase, we are exploring options and developing requirements for a potential partner to help us deliver a ‘No Code’ web application XL graph-style database for a further three years from April 2025. The data, software, and tool will be deployed onto our IT infrastructure and/or onto a commercial VPC server that we control. To aid DBT in developing the specification we are interested in furthering our understanding of the market offering landscape. Specifically, we want to hear from suppliers who can help us to deliver the required XL graph-style database and accompanying support services. For the initial stage of our engagement, we would be grateful if you could take the time to complete this online survey: https://ditresearch.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_exk6FisM2u8xaBg Please submit your completed survey response by Friday 16th August. Following a review of the responses to this Notice, DBT may arrange a formal engagement with all respondents to discuss the findings. We anticipate that this may take place in mid-September and we will confirm in due course. It is anticipated that the tender will take place this autumn with the contract being awarded at the beginning of January 2025 with the contract commencement in April 2025. Should we proceed to market we will use the Crown Commercial Service Spark DPS to carry out the tender. Only suppliers who are registered on the Spark DPS will be able to participate, therefore if you are interested in this potential opportunity, we recommend registration on the DPS as soon as possible. Details can be found at www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6094 Additional information: Any queries relating to registering on the Spark DPS should be directed to the Crown Commercial Service, as DBT does not have any control over their process or requirements.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Database and operating software package (48600000); 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 486,0841 median · 8.8 average (2,230 of 6,084 with a bid count)1.7 average (2,594 of 6,084 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.
