What is being bought

Published requirement description

Portsmouth City Council is seeking market insight to inform the future procurement of an integrated Housing Asset and Tenancy Management solution. This consultation aims to understand supplier capabilities, innovation potential, and alignment with our strategic priorities including compliance, resident engagement, and data-driven service delivery.

The Council's ICT estate includes several disparate systems. The effectiveness of the current technology solutions to support customer focused service delivery and to provide the integrated insights required to meet Regulatory requirements is sub-optimal.

The Council recognises that change is needed to introduce new tools to better enable customer expectations to be met, to make delivery of services easier for the internal housing team, and to provide integrated insights across housing and housing asset management to enable risks to be managed effectively.

The Council requires a Cloud based, comprehensive, inter-operable, secure, resilient, user-friendly, and accessible Housing Management System and Housing Asset Management system that align to Regulatory requirements and to the Council's Functional and Non-Functional requirements.

The Council may not require a single supplier for both systems, however it is critical that each system is sufficiently inter-operable, with suitably configurable open API provision, to enable integrations to be enabled by the Council and / or its contractors without significant reliance on the successful supplier, or suppliers.

We recognise the experience and innovation that suppliers can bring to these areas. As such PCC would welcome your organisation's market information, which will be used to enable PCC to draw up a high-quality specification that meets the needs of local authority housing and its residents.

How the contest usually goes

Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.

Question for the bid
This buyerPortsmouth City Council · division 48
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

How often small and medium firms win.

Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 2 of 7 known-size awards · market: division 48 · South East England, n=417
29%30%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

Here, local means registered in South East England.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 1 of 11 known-location awards · market: division 48 · South East England, n=526
9%20%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside South East England.

How long to a decision?
i

How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.

Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.

Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 15 decided notices · market: division 48 · South East England, n=30
46 days60 days

Half of these awards were announced within 46 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.

Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.

Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.

Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: at least 2 of 15 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: division 48 · South East England, n=687
13%68%

Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

How many bids did past lots attract?

i

How many bids past lots received.

Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

Past bids do not predict this tender.

Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

How many bids this lot may attract.

The forecast uses similar past competitions. The bar shows either that forecast or past bid counts; the line below says which.

Each lot shows its own forecast based on its own category; forecasts for different lots of the same notice are not comparative. The bar shows 39 past lots.

Where the award price may land.

The forecast uses similar awards and the buyer’s estimate. The band covers the middle half of likely prices.

No comparable awards for this lot yet.

A statistical guide from past awards, not a price to bid.

—Estimate not published
The buyer published no estimate for this lot, so there is nothing to forecast against. A price prediction here would be a number about a number we do not have.

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
