Content Management: <br/><br/>- effective content management of various media types, <br/><br/>- targeting of communications to groups and/or personas (specifically MS Groups), <br/><br/>- use of templates for accelerated creation and consistent output, <br/><br/>- admin functionality to manage content. <br/><br/>- exploits Microsoft365 as a foundation <br/><br/>2. Integration: <br/><br/>- Integration with EntraID to help present a more personalised experience <br/><br/>3. Mobile and Tablet: <br/><br/>- Great UX for mobile and tablet <br/><br/>4.

Authentication <br/><br/>- Work with Single Sign-on (with MFA) via EntraID (formally AzureAD) <br/><br/><br/> <br/>Additional considerations: <br/><br/>- We would like to introduce a product management approach to our intranet, meaning that the selected vendor would be engaged longer term to provide resource capability to a DevOps team so that we can both maintain and support our intranet, whilst also exploiting new functionality and enabling adaptability into the future. We envisage an 8-year relationship with a review point mid contract. <br/><br/>- Scottish Water is committed to being NetZero by 2040 and we would like all our digital services to be carbon neutral. <br/><br/>- Our existing intranet serves around 5000 employees. Contract partners and service providers also access intranet content, as well as colleagues from our partners and supply chain. <br/><br/>- The contract will include provision to allow the selected partner to work on future intranet, information hub and information portal work if the need arises. <br/><br/>- We want our admin users to be able to fully exploit the solution and excellent training within the project and ongoing is essential. This may take the form of screen based and on occasion in person training.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Software configuration services (72265000); 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 727,2031 median · 15.5 average (2,733 of 7,203 with a bid count)1.9 average (3,251 of 7,203 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer411.5 median · 11.5 average (2 of 4 with a bid count)1.5 average (2 of 4 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKM3952 median · 6 average (213 of 395 with a bid count)1.3 average (236 of 395 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)40913 median · 13 average (2 of 409 with a bid count)3.5 average (2 of 409 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.
