Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); 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 729,8232 median · 13.6 average (3,864 of 9,823 with a bid count)1.9 average (4,667 of 9,823 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.

Ingres is an open-source relational database management system (DBMS) designed for large-scale commercial and government applications.\nThe expertise in the market for the size of managed service support required is very limited. The previous open tender only elicited one suitable response and a market engagement exercise failed to generate any suitable leads. Similarly, a search of purchasing platforms available to the organisation failed to match on the requirements. \nA strategic resourcing decision not to train and develop permanent resources on legacy technologies means that there is no internal capability to support these applications.  \nThe support provided for processing of survey data that enables the regular processing of surveys operated by ONS is a fundamental enabler for our core strategic aim of \"statistics for the public good\" and cannot be compromised.",
