What is being bought

In 2010 NI Water initiated a Leakage Management System (LMS) that was built and managed by Crowder Consulting. The LMS system is the primary mechanism by which NI Water: • Quantify and report leakage in line with UK regulatory standards • Support operational decision making to reduce water loss • Integrate data from multiple systems (network, metering, billing, field data) NI Water requires a secure, configurable, browser-based SaaS application to support authorised business users in accessing, managing, configuring, reporting on and administering the LMS solution. NI Water intends to procure a contract for a Managed Service Provider responsible for managing the operation, licencing, implementation, support, and maintenance of NI Water’s LMS. The LMS solution shall integrate with the agreed NI Water source systems and data feeds. The Managed Service Provider must ensure that all mandatory requirements are met, tested and approved prior to go-live.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 65. The category anchor is Public utilities (65000000); 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 654022 median · 27.3 average (86 of 402 with a bid count)2.4 average (98 of 402 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.
