What is being bought

This is a pipeline notice not a call for competition. Peabody Trust is providing advance visibility of a forthcoming procurement for Microsoft Enterprise Agreements, including associated licencing, software assurance and support services. At this stage the procurement route is under consideration (e.g. framework call-off or further competition), the contract structure and duration are yet to be finalised and the full scope of services will be refined prior to procurement.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Software package and information systems (48000000); 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 483,0911 median · 5.9 average (1,007 of 3,091 with a bid count)1.5 average (1,125 of 3,091 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.
