Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Repair and maintenance services of telephone switching apparatus (50334130); 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 509,2254 median · 22.4 average (3,783 of 9,225 with a bid count)3.2 average (4,299 of 9,225 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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe installed prisoner PIN telephony system contains hardware and uses operating system software that was developed by, and is proprietary to, Redwood Technologies. Technical reasons, and exclusive rights (IPR) in the software therefore preclude effective competition for the maintenance services. The software is integral to the operation of the system and affects a number of SPS activities including call monitoring, tariff management, and call charge reconciliation back to individual prisoners. Redwood also hold stocks of key spare parts, pin-phone telephone instruments and components to support in-service maintenance. The age of the system (12 years) means that such items are not generally and readily available in the market.
