Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Subscription services (79980000); 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 79 | 13,740 | 4 median · 30.9 average (5,803 of 13,740 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (6,507 of 13,740 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 4 | 1 median · 1 average (1 of 4 with a bid count) | 1 average (2 of 4 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKG | 528 | 3 median · 57.2 average (207 of 528 with a bid count) | 4.6 average (235 of 528 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.
No documents are published in the current source record.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.

The University has determined that transitioning to an alternative LMS at this time with different technical and operational characteristics would significantly impact on resources, process changes, and cause disproportionate disruption to its students and staff. The current library management system, Alma, is already integrated within the University, and adoption of a different system (with different technical architecture) would mean considerable additional development effort and costs. The additional upgrade solutions included in the Clarivate package - Leganto and RapidILL - integrate with the University's existing LMS and will reduce systems creep, improve efficiencies, and allow for cost savings. Alma, and the associated solutions, is owned, supplied, and supported exclusively by Ex Libris, part of Clarivate. Academic Complete and ProQuest Central are databases exclusive to ProQuest, part of Clarivate, and bundling as part of a wider package will afford The University improved terms. The risks associated with the proposition are financial, technical (including information security) and reputational. The University therefore intends to issue a contract to Clarivate for the move to the package solution for the reasons stated above.",
