IT Consultancy Services Framework
What is being bought
Rail Safety and Standards (RSSB) seeks to procure the best expertise available within the marketplace that offer specialist technical IT Consultancy services. Our IT programme and projects require general and specialist technical consultancy support. RSSB recognises that it cannot entirely internally satisfy its future demand for suitably experienced specialist and professionally qualified experts and as a result is seeking to procure these through the IT Consultancy Framework. Potential providers are hereby invited to tender for these Services. Revised deadline for submitting tenders is 4 pm - 12 August 2022.
Categories
Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); 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 | 10,539 | 2 median · 15.4 average (4,162 of 10,539 with a bid count) | 2 average (5,054 of 10,539 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | 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.
