Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is System management software development services (72212781); 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 728,7751 median · 14.3 average (3,410 of 8,775 with a bid count)1.9 average (4,086 of 8,775 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.

    "description": "Oxford City Council (OCC) intends to procure a Housing & Asset Management System (HAMS) to support key landlord, asset, and compliance functions either as best of breed modules or one complete solution. The planned procurement will replace the Council's current housing management and mobile working solutions upon contract expiry in February 2028.\nThe future solution is expected to support:\n- Core housing management and tenancy services\n- Asset management, safety compliance and investment planning\n- Responsive repairs and planned works\n- Mobile working for field staff\n- Digital services for residents (Tenant Portal)\n- Digital services for contractors (Contractor Portal)\n- Integration with other Council systems\n- Reporting, analytics and governance assurance.\nThis notice is issued to inform the market of an upcoming procurement and to support preliminary market engagement. \nSuppliers are invited to participate in this preliminary market engagement. If you wish to participate in the engagement please communicate your intention to take part to:\nInewton@oxford.gov.uk by midnight on the 30th April 2026.\nPlease note, this is not a call for competition. \nFor the avoidance of doubt, this notice is for the purpose of conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise and will not formally begin the procurement or constitute any commitment by the Council to undertake any procurement exercise.\nParticipation in the PME will be at each organisation's own cost.  No expense in responding to this PME will be reimbursed by the Council.\nPreliminary Market Engagement (PME)\nPME in this case is where the Council, at an early stage in the development of its proposals but prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, seeks input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement opportunity.\nThe RFI will provide an opportunity for the Council to obtain insight into how participants might approach the delivery of the service in question.   It also gives a useful insight into the likely level of interest in a proposed project from that market.\nParticipants must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that the Council may conduct, nor that the Council will procure any such supply and services or accept any proposals offered.  Any Procurement of the supply and services by the Council will be carried out strictly in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 (PA2023)\nAs stated above, the outcome of the PME exercise will inform an options appraisal with recommendations.",
