What is being bought

A cloud-based Management Information System (MIS) is required for use in both primary and secondary schools within the authority. The system must be scalable, secure, and user-friendly, with pricing models that reflect the differing needs of primary and secondary education providers. The objective is to procure a single MIS solution (or set of compatible solutions) that enables schools to manage key administrative, statutory, and educational tasks efficiently while supporting collaboration across the authority.

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 723,6511 median · 7.9 average (1,151 of 3,651 with a bid count)1.7 average (1,312 of 3,651 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.
