What is being bought

UK Power Networks (Operations) Limited ("UK Power Networks") is running a preliminary market engagement exercise on behalf of the regulated electricity distribution businesses owned by London Power Networks plc, Eastern Power Networks plc and South Eastern Power Networks plc. Additionally this exercise is made for the benefit of UK Power Networks Holdings Limited's group companies. We are seeking to hear from providers of Land Referencing and Due Diligence Platforms / Solutions. Our high-level requirement is a platform / system for procuring land registry searches easily and quickly to understand ownership of land and restrictions, planning permissions as well as monitoring our ownership and interests. Following completion of this exercise we will conduct a review of the responses received which will potentially result in us refining our requirements and/or developing our procurement strategy.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Industry specific software package (48100000); 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 486,8361 median · 9.6 average (2,488 of 6,836 with a bid count)1.7 average (2,927 of 6,836 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK1,8892 median · 22.6 average (612 of 1,889 with a bid count)3 average (732 of 1,889 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)3883 median · 3 average (1 of 388 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 388 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.
