What is being bought

Homes in Somerset and Somerset Council are reviewing their current housing management solutions to enable a procurement exercise to take place if it is discovered that there have been sufficient IT advancements in the housing solution market to benefit from a new tender being issued. At this stage it is anticipated that an open market tender will be released in the future but we reserve the right to cancel this process if the market is unable to provide sufficient enhancements to the current solution that is used. This early market engagement activity will give suppliers an opportunity to showcase to HIS/SC what can be achieved

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 483,9981 median · 6.4 average (1,354 of 3,998 with a bid count)1.6 average (1,563 of 3,998 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.
