Award criteria
Supplier Information Questionnaire (SQ) — The Supplier Information Questionnaire (SQ) requires every Tenderer to complete and return. It includes a number of Pass/Fail questions. Where the response by a Tenderer to a Pass/Fail question scores a “Fail” then the Contracting Authority will exclude the Tenderer from this procurement process and the Tenderer’s Tender will not be evaluated further. This is to be downloaded, completed and uploaded back into the E-Tendering Portal by Tenderers.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Data network management and support services (72315000); 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

“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.
