What is being bought

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is seeking supplier input via this Request for Information (RFI) to explore the market capability for delivering a scalable, hybrid communications platform.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 32. The category anchor is Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment (32000000); 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 328403 median · 41.3 average (251 of 840 with a bid count)3.8 average (276 of 840 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK2485.5 median · 146.5 average (60 of 248 with a bid count)8.1 average (74 of 248 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.
