Oldham Council is seeking to appoint a specialist Intelligent Automation partner to establish a sustainable Robotic Process Automation capability while delivering a programme of automations across Council services. The Council's objective is not simply to buy development resource. The requirement is to build an internal automation capability that can be sustained beyond the initial contract period through knowledge transfer, governance, training, reusable assets and operational enablement.

| Item | Category | Quantity |

| 1 | Systems and technical consultancy services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Systems and technical consultancy services (72220000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 72 | 7,065 | 1 median · 15.5 average (2,661 of 7,065 with a bid count) | 1.9 average (3,169 of 7,065 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKC | 348 | 1 median · 12.6 average (147 of 348 with a bid count) | 2.4 average (165 of 348 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 473 | 4 median · 6 average (10 of 473 with a bid count) | 1 average (10 of 473 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
