What is being bought

The House of Commons and the House of Lords are seeking a HR Online Service that can provide responsive, up-to-date HR and employment law advice, along with practical tools such as model policies, templates, and case law insights. The service should support workforce planning through data-driven HR intelligence and offer a robust pay benchmarking solution with current, impartial data across public and private sectors. The service will primarily serve four teams within the House of Commons and the House of Lords: People Management, Pay and Reward, Members’s and Members’ Staff Services (MMSST), and Lords HR team, supporting employees of both Houses, Members of Parliament, and their staff.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Time accounting or human resources software package (48450000); 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 483,1361 median · 5.9 average (1,023 of 3,136 with a bid count)1.5 average (1,148 of 3,136 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2163 median · 3 average (1 of 216 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 216 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.
